Michigan and the Midwest played a national role in the Underground Railroad, although its true history in this region has often been obscured by myth. Dr. Cox will present the newest discoveries she and other historians are making about the heroic individuals and organizations in this region that worked to make freedom possible for all Americans.
Anna-Lisa Cox is an award-winning historian of race relations in nineteenth-century America. She is a fellow at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, and a recent Research Associate at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, where her original research underpinned two exhibits.
