Abolitionists and sympathizers of all colors, slave and freed Negroes, and fugitive (runaway) slaves. Some provided food and brief respite: an hour, overnight, or a day. Some provided transportation. Some provided funds to help maintain the operations. Others, like Sojourner Truth, risked their lives and freedom to make repeated trips to guide other runaways through the dangerous windings of the underground railroad.
