In the Wallace Center’s first webinar, Dr. Elijah Gaddis (Auburn University), Dr. Rinaldo Walcott (University at Buffalo (SUNY)), and Eliza Jane Franklin (PhD(c)) discussed the journey that Black Americans faced post-Civil War. These experts discussed the many challenges newly emancipated Black Americans encountered in their quest to battle racism, economic hardship, and establishing individual autonomy.
The webinar was a part of the Wallace Center’s Juneteenth Celebration and honors the organization’s newest exhibit, “Out of Whole Cloth: Marking History & Making Home, 1865-1910.”
