Madrid, Spain
Madrid, Spain. The location where Santiago Ramon Y Cajal worked and produced most of his scientific contributions. He was working in a small laboratory as the sole investigator, inspired by the work of his father. Due to the small size of his operation, he had limited affiliations and did whatever he could to maximize his contribution to science. However, from this small bench-lab, he rose through the ranks and became a Nobel prize-winning histologist with his artistry.
Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock is the location that the slave escapes to in EBB's famous anti-slavery poem, "The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim Point". It is clear that the symbolism of this location as a place of freedom and new life for the persecuted pilgrims who landed there was key in choosing it, as it did not make much sense geographically for a slave from the Carribean to go there.
