Interpreting Slavery at Kentucky Historic Sites, video of 2007 conference

YouTube video of “Interpreting Slavery at Kentucky Historic Sites,” a conference held on 13 August 2007, featuring the Dr. Anne Butler (1948 – 2013), founding Director of the Center of Excellence for the Study of African Americans, Kentucky State University; Dr. J. Blaine Hudson (1949 – 2013), Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, University of Louisville; and Pen Bogert, independent Kentucky scholar. The keynote speaker was Larry Earl, Jr., manager of African American Initiatives for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. 

Dr. Butler encourages us to look for African American women's voices in our local and state history - especially those not yet found by historians in newspapers, in court records: "It's there."
