Enslaved Voices and the American Dream

Join us on Thursday, February 19, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., as we host the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society for the program Enslaved Voices & The American Dream: What Were They Fighting For? In this panel, hear from representatives of three local descendant organizations on what the “American Dream” meant to enslaved people in Charlottesville and Albemarle County. With a moderated discussion by Dr. Shelley Viola Murphy, Descendant Project Researcher at the Gibbons Project, this panel will feature Helice Henderson Jones (DEC-VA), Jennifer Saylor Stacy (Highland Council of Descendant Advisors), and Ty’Leik Chambers (Monticello’s Getting Word Project) as they discuss what motivated enslaved people to continue their fights for freedom.
