Resistance requires networks. George Downing didn't smuggle runaways alone. He worked with other agents, churches, and families. No one person defeats injustice. Build your network. Plan together. Meet regularly. Stay united. Invest in institutions. The Downings didn't just protest—they built schools, organizations, and movements that outlasted them. Protests raise awareness; institutions create lasting change. Pass it on. Thomas taught George. George continued the mission while building his own legacy in Newport and Washington. Justice work is multigenerational. Train the next generation.
