29 April, 2022

Description

Founder of The Slave Dwelling Project, Joseph McGill, invites a small group to join in discussion around the campfire. Join us at the President James K. Polk State Historic Site as members of The Slave Dwelling Project engage guests in conversation about how history is told. How are the stories of those enslaved at sites like the Polk farm told? How can we grow to tell more inclusive histories? The group will be limited to 12 guests. Parking and restrooms will be provided. The Slave Dwelling Project weekend is supported in part by North Carolina Humanities, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and in part with funding from ASC, and the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department and Natural and Cultural Resources. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of North Carolina Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities.
