RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Between 1821 and 1865, thousands of enslaved African Americans crossed the Rio Grande to seek a different future; however, their stories and of those who aided them, remained buried in obscurity until recently.

Unlike the so-called “Underground Railroad” – the network organized by abolitionists in the 19th century to help slaves escape to northern states and Canada – the history of which is taught to high school students in the US – the route south has remained ignored on both sides of the Rio Grande.

The Santa instinct is alive and well. A customer at Anthony’s At Paxon in Broomalla, Pennsylvania, left a tip of $5,000 on a bill for only $205.94. And a customer identified only as “Billy” came into the Souk Mediterranean Kitchen in Ohio, asked to be charged one cent, then added a $5,600 tip to his payment. In both cases, the tipper asked that the money be shared by all the servers.
And once again, a secret Santa visited a Walmart in Bristol, Tennessee, last week and said he wanted to pay off all of the store’s layaway items. That came to $64,995.51. He asked the store manager to tell customers that the man who paid your bill said “he loves you, God bless you, and Merry Christmas.” (Merry Christmas, indeed.)
