County campus for columbia state. And i trust that like i you have truly enjoyed your day today. I often tell people that i was raised in ohio and where i grew up the civil war was a paragraph or two in a history book. The north won, slavery ended and that was all we needed to know. It wasnt something to be discussed or remembered. It wasnt until i joined Columbia State Community college and began working in franklin that i realized the civil war was more than a story in a book. I began to understand that this war impacted real people, real Families Communities businesses, and its presence is still felt today. I have the opportunity to serve on the boards of franklins charge and the battle of Franklin Trust and while our primary work is restoring, preserving and reclaiming franklins battlefields, education and advocacy is no less important. What ive learned of my own history since being in franklin is that my great, great grandmother, Laura Charleston was born into slavery in east texa
