A panel of cultural heritage scholars and descendants will discuss free women of color during the Revolutionary Era. Hundreds of records from multiple archives—including freedom papers, census lists, marriage records, and estate accounts at the State Archives—document the lives of these women, along with their families and communities. Panelists will explore the experiences of these remarkable women who navigated the complex cultural, legal, and racial terrain of North Carolina and the new nation. Register for Telling Our Story before the digital presentation on June 11 at noon.
