Underground Railroad: The William Still Story is a PBS documentary on William Still and the hundreds of fugitive slaves he helped escape to Canada. The son of slaves and the chairman of the Philadelphia Vigilance Committee, Still took on extra risk by recording the stories of the runaway slaves that he assisted.
