Students at Cornell University are using technology to teach people about Black History Month.

Last semester, students visited spots on the Underground Railroad as part of a class. And now they’ve taken what they learned and turned it into an app.

Students visited places such as the St. James AME Zion Church, one of the oldest AME churches that was frequently visited by Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. Students also journeyed along the Cascadilla Gorge Trail to learn about the importance of traveling near water to get to freedom.

The app will allow the public to visit and learn about the sites. When people use the app, they can click on the location and get a brief summary about its history.

“It's pretty exciting understanding that I'm helping to educate other people, because it's something that I didn't know about before taking that course," said sophomore Jordan Fason.

The app is still being developed, so it is not yet available to the public.
