Join the South Carolina Historical Society for a powerful exploration of the intertwined histories of slavery, both from the perspective of descendants of the enslaved and the descendants of enslavers and traders. COO and Director of Collections Virginia Ellison will moderate this discussion with South Carolina authors Dr. Walter Curry and Margaret Seidler for a rich dialogue about the legacies of these histories and how they are remembered, interpreted, and visually represented. During this session, both authors will describe their family research within private and public archival collections throughout South Carolina and the nation and explore how the descendants of enslaved people carry forward their ancestors’ stories, and how the descendants of enslavers deal with the complicity of their forebears.
