The Underground Railroad, Its Legacies, and Our Communities

The Planning Committee of the Eighth Underground Railroad (UGR) History 
Conference is soliciting brief proposals for presentations, panels, and 
workshops that address the above theme.  Proposals should be made for a 
60-minute workshop session, for a poster session or exhibition, or for 
a cultural/artistic activity.

We ask that all proposals allow for significant audience interaction. 
And, while we urge that proposals focus on the conference theme, we 
also invite proposals on other important topics concerning Underground 
Railroad history. See the full call for proposals document at: 
www.ugrworkshop.com.

The Eighth Annual UGR History Conference will be held at College Park, 
Union College, Schenectady, NY, on February 27-28, 2009.  It is 
sponsored by the Underground Railroad History Project of the Capital 
Region, Inc.
