CANCELLATION !!!
It is with tremendous disappointment that we must cancel this Saturday's event: "FREE at Last! ~ Black History Celebration!" Due to icy and snowy conditions here on-site, we are concerned for the safety of all. It is our hope to reschedule this important event - sooner rather than later. Once we are able to reschedule all the amazing people involved, a date will be announced.

FREE at Last ~ Black History Celebration!
FREE at Last - Black History Celebration!
Saturday, February 6th 10 am - 4 pm
FREE to the public
Thanks to a generous grant from The Boeing Company, the 2010 Speaker Series at Sotterley will kick-off with “FREE at Last! Black History Celebration!” on Saturday, February 6th, 2010 from 10am-4pm. This free to the public event recounts the days of slavery, as well as the impact of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s. There is something for all ages - dramatic portrayals, a spirit lifting gospel choir performance, hands-on learning, children’s activities, and tours of the original 1830’s Slave Cabin.
Sandi English will revive her character performance of “Mammy Reminiscence” at 11am in the Customs Warehouse. Having mastered the art of African-American storytelling, she and her daughter Liana English will transport guests back in time to when slaves risked all to make their way to freedom. At 1pm and 3pm, Ms. English will take on the persona of “Grandma Wisdom,” who recounts the significance of the more modern-day revolution for equality to her questioning granddaughter.
Lifting their voices in soulful praise, members of the St. Peter’s Claver Gospel Choir from Ridge will perform. Established in 1977, this well-known choir combines old and new age gospel, raising the spirits of all.
Education Director Carolyn Hoey will give Slave Cabin Tours featuring slave inventories, new findings from this past summer’s restoration, and a hands-on exhibit of tools and household items used by the slaves.
The 2010 Speaker Series at Sotterley Plantation is sponsored by a generous grant from the Boeing Company. Committed to community support and service The Boeing Company has been dedicated to promoting education and the arts within the Southern Maryland community.
