CANCELED: The Underground Railroad to Mexico
This program has been cancelled.
Join us for a powerful and eye-opening presentation that explores a lesser-known chapter of American history—the courageous path freedom seekers took southward to Mexico, escaping slavery in the United States. Virginia Commonwealth University professor Anita Nadal will cover and lead a thoughtful discussion about:
· How enslaved individuals defied the odds to reach freedom in Mexico
· The role Mexico played in resisting slavery after its abolition in 1829
· The broader legacy of the Underground Railroad
This program is offered as part of the library's commemoration of Black History Month. View additional programs in this series.
