## Resource

History comes alive in Boyd County, Kentucky, as two new Underground Railroad markers are unveiled—one honoring Asbury Parker’s daring escape to Canada, the other commemorating the Piketon 59, freedom seekers rescued by steamboat and headed to Ohio. Part of the Appalachian Freedom Initiative’s larger effort to spotlight over 20 sites across the Tri-State region, these markers honor the courage and resilience of those who risked everything for freedom. Dr. Andrew Feight of Shawnee State University emphasized the enduring significance of these stories, now permanently etched into the landscape as a tribute to the past and a lesson for the future.
