Slavery and Freedom in Black and White: The African American Experience in 19th Century Newspapers July 8, 2011
This is not an official release from the National Archives at Morrow, but rather a personal invitation from Rose.
Those of you who attended Homeschool History Day at the Archives in Morrow may have met a wonderful woman, Christine Mitchell. She has a collection of historical newspapers, some from the late 1700's I believe, and has developed, along with Joel, an interesting exhibit that will be displayed at the Archives until October, if plans go forward.
Speakers from Clayton State University: Dr. Adam Tate,The Atlanta Voice: Janis Ware, National Archives: Joel Walker, and of course, Christine Mitchell. The Clayton State Gospel Choir will begin and end the program It begins at 7:00 and should end by 8:00.
If you have made no plans and are in the Morrow area, I'd love to see you. Rose
If you can't make it, be sure to put the National Archives on your to-do-list. you won't regret it.
