Leaders & Legacies of the Civil War Online

A Slave No More: Two Narratives of Emancipation 

In 2007, Pulitzer Prize winning historian David W. Blight published the personal accounts of two young men who found their way to freedom in the war-torn South. Their stories, apparently written just for their families, provide unusual insight into the strength, courage and persistence of men seeking futures in freedom. This presentation will review their narratives, and the lives they forged for themselves after the Civil War.  SPEAKER: Allison Powell, James A. Garfield NHS.
