Rewriting a Rewritten Narrative: Researching and Teaching the History of Slavery at Walnut Grove Plantation- presented by Lutz Wright
Join us to explore the evolving narrative of slavery at Walnut Grove Plantation. Learn how archaeology, census records, slave narratives, and wills are helping uncover the lives of those once left out of the story—and how this research is reshaping the way we teach and interpret the past.
This important presentation and conversation will challenge myths, broaden perspectives, and highlight the necessity of telling a fuller, more inclusive history.
Lunch and Learn is sponsored by the Chapman Cultural Center
There are a limited number of seats, be sure to register in advance (even members!)
Admission: $5 for non-members / Free for SCHA members.
Don’t forget to bring your lunch!
