A Slave No More: Two Narratives of Emancipation
Wednesday, May 12—12 p.m.
In 2007, Pulitzer Prize winning historian David W. Blight published the personal accounts of two young men who found their way to freedom in the war-torn South. Their stories, apparently written just for their families, provide unusual insight into the strength, courage and persistence of men seeking futures in freedom. This presentation will review their narratives, and the lives they forged for themselves after the Civil War.
This live program will be delivered online by Park Ranger Allison Powell on Wednesday, May 12 at 12:00 p.m. as part of the Leaders and Legacies series with Mentor Public Library. Though the program is online, registration is still required. The registration link can be accessed here: https://mentorpl.libcal.com/event/5734444S.
