In Montgomery County, each of us lives around the corner from a former site of enslavement (SOE), whether it was a farm that was turned into a suburban development, the ruins of a mill that ground flour to feed the local people, or the ghost of an old tavern where enslaved people were bought and sold.
Join Neile Whitney to hear about MoCoLMP’s new interactive map, which hints at the connections between these SOEs and over 140 local, historic Black communities, and then tells their stories.
