Join the League of Women Voters of Chicago to hear from Dr. Larry McClellan, historian and author, who will discuss the history of freedom seekers and the Underground Railroad in Illinois.
We’ll gather at the University of Chicago’s Regenstein Library (Room 122). The event will also be available virtually. It is free to attend and open to the public.
Dr. McClellan’s award award-winning book, Onward to Chicago: Freedom Seekers and the Underground Railroad in Northeastern Illinois (Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 2023), will be available for sale at the event.
