My great, great uncle was Levi Coffin. He was a conductor on the Underground Railroad. His home is now a museum and is known as "the Grand Central Station" of the Underground Railroad. Dude risked everything he had to assist those most in need. edit: grammar
That's cool as hell, man. What an awesome family legacy to have.
