Researching enslaved people is one of the most challenging tasks a historian or genealogist can undertake, but why? In this program you will discover the unique challenges faced by researchers trying to uncover the lives of enslaved people in America. Then explore how Montpelier is using fragmentary documents to create a rich narrative that honors the legacies of those enslaved through the Naming Project and the award-winning exhibition The Mere Distinction of Colour. The video “Fate in the Balance” will be a springboard for discussing new insights into the lives of Ellen Stewart and her family.
