"Follow the Drinking Gourd" is a folk song that originated during the time of slavery in the United States. It served as a coded message to help enslaved people escape to freedom along the Underground Railroad. The "drinking gourd" refers to the Big Dipper constellation, which points towards the North Star, Polaris, a guiding light towards the north and freedom. Morgan Freeman, the acclaimed actor and narrator, has narrated or discussed the song in various contexts due to his interest in history and his involvement in projects related to African American culture and heritage.
