Jamie Noerpel and Dominish Miller interview William C. Goodridge, formerly enslaved and later a successful York County businessman. Goodridge and his wife, Evalina, operated a station on the Underground Railroad there, an illegal act that could have brought federal prosecution. They provided studio space for Glenalvin, their oldest son and a pioneering American photographer. The 123 E. Philadelphia Street townhouse, now the Goodridge Freedom Center, thus stands as a symbol of perseverance against great odds, a beacon for freedom seekers everywhere and a place of innovation and invention.
