"The Road to Freedom is based on the traditional song, 'Follow the Drinking Gourd.' Dating back to the time of the Underground Railroad, this African-American song provided a map to the runaway slaves. By heading toward the Big Dipper (the 'Drinking Gourd'), the fugitives would head north toward Canada and freedom." - Gwyneth Walker
