SUMMARY:Opening Reception\, Freedom Seekers Exhibit at the Tubman Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the reception to celebrate the opening of the Mercer student-curated exhibit at Macon’s Tubman Museum. \nFreedom Seekers: Runaway Slave Advertisements in the Macon Telegraph\, 1826-1865 \nBetween 1826 and 1865\, nearly every issue of the Macon Telegraph included advertisements for enslaved people: runaways\, auctions\, and detainees. This exhibition\, researched and interpreted by Mercer University students\, highlights the humanity of the enslaved people escaping bondage. In these newspaper notices\, we can see the personalities\, skills\, loved ones\, stories\, and resilience of Macon’s freedom seekers. \nExhibit will run from January 24 to March 22\, 2025.
