Germantown historian prepares to walk the Underground Railroad

“We are walking for history,” declared Germantown resident Anthony Cohen, a Rockville High School graduate.

For the second time in his 63 years, Cohen will “Walk to Freedom” along the same path that so many enslaved African Americans traveled during slavery. The historian plans to walk 750 miles at a pace of about 12 miles a day from the Sandy Spring Slave Museum to Toronto, Canada. He will start May 4 and end July 4.
