10. Samuel Burris
Samuel Burris bravely served as a conductor on the Underground Railroad in Delaware, risking capture at every turn. His commitment to helping enslaved people escape led to his arrest and near sale back into slavery. Undeterred, Burris continued his anti-slavery work after his release, demonstrating remarkable resilience. His story stands as a testament to the courage and perseverance of those who risked everything for freedom (Delaware Historical Society).
