A Conspiracy of Good: Stephen Smith, William Whipper and the Underground Railroad

Join us at the National Watch & Clock Museum, 514 Poplar Street in Columbia, PA, for a compelling presentation by Dr. Leroy Hopkins as part of the Columbia 300 Speaker Series. A Conspiracy of Good delves into the lives and work of Stephen Smith and William Whipper—two prominent abolitionists whose leadership, strategy, and moral conviction helped shape the Underground Railroad in Columbia and beyond.

Through rich storytelling and historical insight, Dr. Hopkins will illuminate how these men built networks of resistance, used their resources to aid freedom seekers, and fostered a spirit of cooperation that became a force for change. This program offers a deeper understanding of the courage, collaboration, and quiet determination that defined one of the most important movements in American history.
