From Emancipation to Equality: The Unfinished Business of Civil War and Civil Rights

http://info@tracingcenter.org; www.worldinwatertown.org This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation as well as the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech.  Join us as we commemorate these historic events with a public program exploring our nation's racial progress and the work that remains to be done.  How can we better understant the North's role in slavery and the Civil War?  How can we overcome enduring obstacles to racial healing and equity, and address critical social issues today?
