I came across this article this evening (as I was looking for something else) on the MexicoConnect site. It is brief, and includes a bibliography. It can be found at:

Pursuing this subject, here is an interesting read about the underground
railroad in Mexico.

'History of Blacks in Mexico' by Tony Burton
I found a synopsis over the internet of the very same exhibit that I was
part of!

I read your article and it really hit home. My son in law was told his ancestry was Yaqui but the dna results said African and matched more than 60 % of American Blacks so it's assumed his ancestor was a runaway American slave who joined the Indian band in Mexico as many did. Wonderful article..
thanks for sharing it, Linda in Everett

Esperanza,
Do you know what Mexican or American cities they will tour? This is so very exciting and inspirational, anything that helps unite us as a people and that brings our history to us so that we may better understand ourselves, our friends, family and neighbors.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Alicia, for the moment, I do not know where the exhibit will next travel.
However, as soon as I know, I will let you all know.
