- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- This afternoon program explores the enslaved African American community that once lived and labored at Charles Carroll Jr.’s Homewood estate (now the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus) during the early 19th century. A country retreat and 130-acre farm, Homewood was home to approximately twenty slaves who worked in the house and labored in the fields. The specialists brought together for the symposium will present lectures on various aspects of slavery in the Baltimore region, providing an in-depth introduction to the enslaved people of Homewood and best practices for public historians in reading the African presence back into the landscape of historic sites and museums.
