Musical guest: Nicki White (https://www.facebook.com/nicki.scruggs)Featured speaker: Sarah Bader-King, "Slavery in Jackson County: Recovering Lives Through the Wornall/Majors Database"
This presentation explores both the history of slavery in Jackson County, Missouri, and the creation of the Wornall/Majors House Museums' Slavery on the Western Border database. Attendees will learn how the project grew from a museum initiative into an expanding digital resource that brings together census records, court documents, newspapers, bills of sale, runaway advertisements, and other primary source documents to reconstruct the lives of hundreds of enslaved people.
Note: We will also be touring the house at 3 that day, at a discounted price of $5.
