Out of the Shadows: Stories of African Americans at W&M from Slavery to Post Emancipation
The Lemon Project’s history and memory work involves steady inquiry by researchers within and outside W&M, combing the archives to recover narratives of people the university enslaved and African Americans who continued to steward the institution following Emancipation and into the twentieth century. Dr. Johnson will discuss university memory work in the context of slavery and its legacies as a communal undertaking inclusive of people who identify as descendants of enslaved people in the Historic Triangle and people committed to reparatory history. He will share stories of individuals and families he has found who contributed to building William & Mary.
This event is also being offered virtually, if you wish to join via Zoom please register here: https://go.wm.edu/yY0VPh
