Charles Corner: A Reconstruction African American Community Displaced by the Naval Weapons Station
Dr. Shannon S. Mahoney will discuss her analyses and work with the Charles Corner community. Ms. Edith Heard will discuss her work and experiences as an historian, activist, and member of the Charles Corner descendant community. Mr. Sherman Hill was a resident of Slabtown/ Uniontown, an African American community settled just outside of Yorktown in 1863. Mr. Hill and other Slabtown residents were forced to relocate in the 1970s by the National Park Service in order to create the Yorktown National Battlefield. The forced displacement and subsequent destruction of Slabtown motivated Mr. Hill to raise the visibility of African American history in York County.
