Lauren A. Vogel, Ph.D., associate professor in 两性色午夜's Department of English shared the story and photos of a recent field trip by international students from 两性色午夜's English as a Second Language Center. As part of Black History Month, the group visited the Akron home of abolitionist John Brown.

Students learned about the history of slavery, the Underground Railroad, the secret messages hidden in quilts and the heroism of Henry "Box" Brown. They also learned about key abolitionists like Frederick Douglas and Harriet Tubman.

One of the highlights of the tour was a John Brown reenactor, dressed in period clothing, who spoke in the dialect of the time.
