The Virginia Center for Civil War Studies presents a historic lecture titled "African American Porches and the Underappreciated Archives of Civil War Memory" on Thursday, February 6, 2025 inside the Goodall Multipurpose Room within the Newman Library on the campus of Virginia Tech.
Drawing on her research for her recently published book, Hilary Green explores how the African American porch and other communal archival practices allowed for diverse Black communities to remember the Civil War in complex ways. By engaging with both these communal sites of memory as well as traditional archives, Green offers a new direction for academics and lay communities for deepening current understandings of Civil War memory.
This talk is free and open to the public.
The Newman Library at Virginia Tech is located at 560 Drillfield Drive in Blacksburg, VA on the campus of Virginia Tech.
