Description

*********excerpt is a little low in dcart, may need to pot up a bit********* A man who dedicated his life to human rights and to educating people about African and African American history has died. Kamau Kambui (ka-MAO kam-BOO-ee) died recently in Atlanta where he was undergoing holistic treatments for lymphoma. He was fifty-years old. Kambui became known to many Minnesotans for his re-eanactments of blacks escaping slavery on the Underground Railroad. In the fall of 1991, Minnesota Public Radio's Chris Roberts went along with twenty-seven other people on an underground railroad excursion in a wilderness area just west of the Twin Cities. In an excerpt from his report, we meet Kamau Kambui just as the reenactment is beginning. | D-CART ITEM: 1179 | TIME: 3:43 | OUTCUE: "...battles which have been won are."
