Students at Emory & Henry College have spent the past semester uncovering the names of hundreds of people who were enslaved at the college, before and during the Civil War. They produced a short video, meant as a memorial to those whose stories would otherwise have been written into oblivion.
Several groups in Pulaski County are hosting a Juneteenth celebration this Sunday. The Juneteenth event is sponsored by the Wilderness Road Regional Museum, the Pulaski County Library System and the Calfee Community & Cultural Center, a group that’s working to turn a historically Black school into a community center.
