Freedom Flight tells the true story of the escape of Addison White from slavery in

Kentucky, his flight north on the Under- ground Railroad, and his rescue by the citizens of

Mechanicsburg, Ohio. The characters of Addison White and Udney Hyde serve as narrators

as well as characters.

The play begins in August, 1856. Addison is a slave on the farm of Daniel White in Fleming

County, Kentucky. We learn about what it was like to be a slave: long hours of work and no

human dignity. One day, Addison is grinding cane at a sorghum wheel and he faints from

heatstroke. Daniel White finds him and is going to tie him up and beat him. Addison resists,

fighting Master White to a draw.
