Reception Explores Slave History
Thursday, September 10
ICRCM Lobby, 134 South Elm Street
Reception 6:00pm
Program 6:30pm
Just a few months ago, a
collection of very important records was discovered in the office of the
Guilford County Register of Deeds. The documents were hundreds of deeds related
to the enslavement of Guilford County citizens in the early ninetweenth century,
including members of the extended Morehead family.
Join local experts - historians, educators, and
cultural workers - for an evening led by Logie Meachum and the ICRCM exhibit
host committee to explore the significance of these records. Discover more truths
about slavery and the earlist forms of human trafficking in antebellum
Greensboro. Get an up-close and personal view of historical relics and legal
documents that reveal family genealogies previously unavailable.
This temporary display is the launch of a larger exhibit that will delve
into the deep and rich history of local families and heritages throughout the
Triad. Visit the ICRCM.
