KTM&HC's Revolutionary Perspectives series continues Sunday, March 23 at 3 p.m. with an in-person talk by Dr. R. Isabela Morales in the historic Garden House.
KTM&HC's Revolutionary Perspectives series celebrates innovative approaches to how we discover, interpret, and share American history, with an emphasis on themes of memory and identity. The series is supported by a grant from the Wadsworth R. Lewis Fund.
On March 23, KTM&HC will welcome Dr. Morales, an author, historian, and museum professional, to discuss her award-winning book Happy Dreams of Liberty: An American Family in Slavery and Freedom, a multi-generational history of the Townsend family. Born into slavery in Alabama, the Townsends won their freedom in 1860 and spent their lives pursuing social and economic mobility in a hostile society. Through careful research and compelling storytelling, Dr. Morales encourages readers to discover what one extraordinary American family can tell us about race, money, and opportunity in U.S. history.
