Annual National Underground Railroad Summit
The National Park Service, National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom program and friends, invite proposals for the upcoming annual conference to be held in Topeka, Kansas, July 28–31, 2010. The conference will explore the Underground Railroad (UGRR) in the West, with particular focus on its role as a component of the national struggle to allow Kansas to enter the Union. The conference also seeks to explore how people today interested in the story of the UGRR transcend local histories and make connections to a larger national story with global significance. Submissions must be submitted online at www.ugrconference.org. Proposals can be submitted for (1) panels up to three individuals and a moderator on a particular theme or topic and (2) individual 20-minute presentations. Accepted individual submissions will be placed on a panel by the Program Committee. For those without access to the Internet, proposals may be mailed to the Network to Freedom address. Registration fee for presenters will be waived.
