An event that brought people from all over the country in 2025 to retrace the route of the Underground Railroad from South Texas to Mexico is returning.

Roseann Bacha-Garza, manager of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s Community Historical Archaeology project with Schools (CHAPS) joined Border Report Live to discuss the upcoming three-day event being held Feb. 27-March 1 that starts in Alamo, Texas.

Bacha-Garza says this year they’re walking 24 miles.

In March 2025, the group walked 65 miles over seven days, retracing several sites where “freedom seekers” went through South Texas.
