Hoya Railroad

Georgetown Hoya Station

In its early years, Georgetown benefitted from slavery, and might not exist now if not for slaves. Later, it benefitted from the sacrifices of people who freed slaves. Today, everyone in the U.S. is benefitting from current slavery. Slaves grow food we eat, mine our raw materials and make many of the products we all use. With all that in mind, we members of the extended Georgetown community are working to help the people who are sacrificing and suffering the most today: modern-day slaves.

Light Bulb

=

people who help to free slaves.  Supporters of the Underground Railroad put lights on their barns at night to let runaway slaves know they were safe havens to sleep or find food and water. So we represent people who help to free slaves with light bulbs.

Star

=

nonprofits freeing slaves.  Slaves escaping north to freedom relied on the North Star as a beacon and compass because it doesn't change its location. Today, slaves gaining freedom rely on nonprofits that are unwavering in their help, so we represent them with stars.
