Visit Chesapeake Bay Events

“Abolitionist” usually conjures up an image of a fiery antislavery activist from a Northern state. But Northerners did not have a monopoly on antislavery convictions. Many white Southerners also harbored antislavery beliefs, some voiced them, and an intrepid handful—like Westmoreland County’s Robert Carter and Stafford County’s Moncure Conway—acted on them. Here to discuss this will be Professor John d’Entremont, Theodore H. Jack Professor of History at Randolph College whose works include Southern Emancipator: Moncure Conway: The American Years, 1832-1865. A reception and refreshments sponsored by the Moncure Conway Foundation will follow.
