Emerging Scholars Series Talk: "The Story of Civil War-Era Emancipation and Black Citizenship in Yorktown Virginia"

The Virginia Peninsula has a rich history of Civil War-Era emancipation and freedom that often gets overlooked because of the emphasis on its colonial past.  In this talk, Dr. Becca Toy, recent graduate from W&M in History, will discuss restoring that captivating history to this narrative landscape.

November 4, 2 p.m. Location to be determined (Either Stryker Center or via Zoom).  Visit the Williamsburg Regional Library's events listing for more information and updates about location.

The Emerging Scholars Series is offered in partnership between the A&S Graduate Center and the Williamsburg Regional Library.
