Echoes from the Past
African-American Voices at Gettysburg

Every year thousands visit Gettysburg to learn about the battle and how it shaped American history. But visitors seldom hear the story from the viewpoint of local people of color whose lives were irrevocably altered by what happened. Hear echoes of the past in the voices of Gettysburg’s African-American citizens and others who struggled to end the bondage of centuries and rise to position of common equality. Download brochure.
