Underground Railroad to Mexico
You might be surprised to know that the Underground Railroad ran not only to the north, but south to Mexico as well. After slavery was abolished in Mexico in 1829, thousands of enslaved people escaped there from Texas, Alabama, and other nearby southern states. Please join us for a discussion of this little-known history with Anita Nadal, assistant professor of Spanish at the VCU School of World Studies.
