Everyone,

You are invited to the next VCU Year of Freedom lunchtime talk, Wednesday, 20 February 2013, at VCU’s Monroe Park Campus, the Student Commons’ Virginia Room A, at noon. Free.

Dr. Katherine C. Bassard, chair of the VCU English Department, will speak on “Negotiating Freedom: Emancipation and Identity in Slave Narratives and Neo-Slave Narratives.”
 
In particular, Dr. Bassard will talk about the writing and life of Peter Randolph, who led a group of 66 ex-slaves from Prince George County to Boston, there became an abolitionist and Baptist minister, served as a chaplain for U. S. Colored Troops in the Civil War, then came to Richmond after the war as the first African American minister at Ebenezer Baptist Church, before returning to Boston and a long, distinguished career in the church.

Please join us tomorrow. You may bring your lunch or pick up food in the Commons food court.

John
