The close of the American Civil War with military surrenders at sites like Bennett Place assured the end of legal slavery in America. Join us as we commemorate and recognize the lives of over 330,000 North Carolinians enslaved during the Civil War.
This program highlights experiences of enslaved and newly freed people through storytelling, music, and luminaries.
