Guest Speaker: Michelle Lanier
7:00 p.m., Tryon Palace Auditorium, FREE
Enslaved African Americans saw the Civil War, the violent tear in the nation's fabric, as a thoroughfare to freedom, humanity and self-determination. By foot, by boat and by wagon, those held in bondage sojourned to environs called James City, Roanoke Island and Freedom Hill. This lecture will describe and define the concept of the Emancipation Community and the radical distinctions between the notions of "contrabands" and "refugees". Additionally, the talk will explore primary documents which illuminate the nature of these hand-hewn homes, as well as the powerful legacies left by those who claimed their own lives in the face of war.
