Join the DHS as we welcome Dr. Maria Esther Hammack and Dr. Rolanda Teal as they discuss the brave women who created a hidden part of nineteenth-century Atlantic World History: many runaway slaves from the antebellum south found safe havens across the southern frontier into Mexico especially after the country officially abolished the institution in 1829. African Americans were often helped by Native Americans, who themselves were also subjected to slavery on both sides of US/Mexican border and also in the Caribbean. The speakers present Mexico’s role as a sanctuary for African American slaves during the nineteenth century.
