Join us for a special Women’s History Month program on March 5, 2025, in collaboration with the Charleston Symposium.
This enriching program will feature a panel discussion on the powerful role of genealogical research in uncovering hidden family histories and its impact on understanding the enduring legacy of slavery. Esteemed speakers include Dr. Shirley Green, author of Revolutionary Blacks, and Margaret Seidler, author of Payne-ful Business, who courageously unveils her family’s ties to Charleston’s slave trade.
Moderated by Dr. Shelley Murphy, this conversation will delve into the transformative power of confronting difficult truths to shape a more informed future. Complementing the discussion, attendees are invited to experience an exclusive art walk showcasing works by acclaimed artist John W. Jones. These evocative pieces, inspired by Seidler’s historical discoveries, bring to life the stories of the enslaved individuals whose labor and skills were central to Charleston’s development.
Mark your calendar for this unforgettable blend of dialogue and artistry!
