How did freedom seekers use environmental knowledge to escape enslavement? The event, "Wild Futures: Taking Flight" brings together historians, artists, and scholars to explore the role of the wilderness in the fight for liberation. This Harriet Tubman Day, we reflect on survival, strategy, and what it means to be free. Join us on March 10 at the Driskell Center or online. Registration required—link in bio.
