The NORTH Star has been used by explorers for ages as a navigation tool to determine direction. As explorers ventured out of sight of land, they were able to determine their direction by observing the height of the sun during the day and the NORTH Star at night. The NORTH Star, also became the symbol of freedom because it was the guiding light for individuals seeking freedom, the one secure beacon on the dangerous road to liberty. The secret of the North Star is that it was both a physical compass for individuals, and an outward sign of the hope of liberation.
