Our Vision
The
1846 Blodgett House is one of the oldest houses in Downers Grove, and
played a significant role in the Underground Railroad. Our vision is to
have the 1846 Blodgett House donated to the Downers Grove Park District
with the restored structure on the grounds of the Historical Museum to
create a cultural center focusing on the Underground Railroad.
The Concert
Kim and Reggie Harris have performed original contemporary folk music and traditional African-American Spiritual and Freedom Songs for almost 30 years. In Concert Kim and Reggie know how to reach out and grab an audience by the heart as they sing of life, love, the quest for freedom and care for the environment, with musical versatility and beautiful vocal harmonies.
The fact and legend of the Underground Railroad is one of the most memorable chapters in American History. Music and the Underground Railroad, a concert of songs, stories and narratives about slavery and the quest for freedom reveals the hope, the power and eventually the triumph shared by a network of people of many races. Through sing-a-longs, audience involvement and a multi-media presentation Music and the Underground Railroad provides an understanding of the secrets and passion of this powerful era.
