The 'Walking Southern Roads to Freedom' event, organized in South Texas from March 3 to 9, aims to shed light on the Underground Railroad route to Mexico. Participants, including advocates, historians, faith leaders, and descendants of enslaved people, will walk 60 miles, visiting historic sites tied to this significant yet often forgotten chapter of history. The initiative stems from recent research and a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom designation for certain sites. It is meant to celebrate the resilience of those who sought freedom across borders and to acknowledge Mexico's role in their journeys.
