Underground Railroad

I. One of the painful topics explored in the South Carolina section of the novel (starting on 114) is medical racism and Dr. Bertram's troubling experiments and the state's approach to sterilization. Share some thoughts about these sections in the text--how does it deepen our understanding of American history?

Perhaps research online the book Medical Apartheid and/or share an example of medical racism (perhaps an event or story connected to your own community or your ancestors' or elders' communities) that you learned about from your online reading.

II. In the section that begins "To explain why he and his wife kept Cora..." (pages 164-166 in my edition), Martin Wells talks about the history of resistance, slave rebellions, the life of runaways, and the night riders (a white supremacist group; you may want to look up their history). What does Cora come to understand about North Carolina and how it is responding to slavery and white abolitionists?
