Description
Former Rokeby Museum Director Jane Williamson traces the life of freedom seeker Jesse, from enslavement in North Carolina to relative safety in Vermont. The illustrated talk brings the narrative of one enslaved man out of anonymity and explores his life and pursuit of freedom. Jesse's story is told through letters in the Rokeby Museum collection and documents in the North Carolina State Archives.
