The institution of slavery is the darkest stain on our nation.

Wisconsin's role, in both its implentation and end, is not usually thought of as significant, though history tells a different story.

As early as the 1830's, abolitionists in Wisconsin were building a network of resources to aid in shielding freedom-seekers from those who sought to steal their God-given right to life and self-determination. By 1854, The Badger State, by then only 6 years in the Union, was leading the charge in defying federal slave laws, creating a domino effect followed by other states, and stoking the fires of Civil War.

Places like the Milton House, outside of Janesville, continued the secrecy of the Underground Railroad in the north to aid those fleeing from bondage, leaving a legacy of compassion for others, and the resiliancy of the Human Spirit.

In the beginning banter, Scott and Mickey discuss our time at the Great Lakes Paranormal Conference, and give a heartfelt sendoff to our friend, Jim Cooper.
