Special Thursday History Presentation UNCG Department of History: Limits of Freedom

limits of freedom

April 16 @ 6:30 pm 8:30 pm

UNCG History Professor Anne Parsons will lead a special program as part of the library’s History Thursday series. The program will focus on the Limits of Freedom traveling display, which explores the lives of free and enslaved African Americans in Guilford and Rockingham Counties in early U.S. history. Their experiences, from service in the Revolutionary War to work along the Dan River, illustrate the lived reality of people during a time of slavery. Passed down through the generations, the stories in this exhibit help bring about a better understanding of the early days of two of North Carolina’s most influential counties.
