Anthony Cohen Biography

He began the trek at Sandy Spring MD traveling a distance of 1200 miles reaching his final destination point of Amherstburg Ontario on July 7 1996. During the journey Cohen retraced the steps that slaves made along waterways and rail lines to churches and Quaker sanctuaries.
Following the success of his first walk Cohen embarked on another in 1998 traveling three months from Mobile Alabama to Windsor Ontario. Spring 2003 will bring his third and final expedition as he follows the route of his great-great grand uncle who fled slavery in Savannah GA for freedom in Canada in 1851. This journey will be chronicled in a feature-length documentary The Underground Railroad: A Personal Journey to be released nationwide in February 2004.
He hopes his efforts and the publication of his book will result in a greater awareness and understanding of the Railroad’s importance in America’s history. “The Underground Railroad is really one of the most positive aspects of our heritage although it grew out of one of the most insidious chapters in our history” he says.
