SUMMARY:What Happened to Halfway African American Cemetery? With Emilie Amt\, Ph. D.\, and Elizabeth Paul
DESCRIPTION:Created in 1897\, Halfway African American Cemetery housed 400 individuals. But when the property was sold for development in 1944\, the cemetery was not relocated. Instead\, it was largely destroyed and forgotten – until being rediscovered decades later. Emilie Amt\, Ph. D.\, professor emerita of history at Hood College\, and Elizabeth Paul\, president of the Friends of Halfway African American Cemetery\, will discuss the history and preservation of this important local landmark and its significance to marginalized communities. \nSupported by the Hood Office of Community and Inclusivity and the Center for the Humanities. This presentation will take place at the Beneficial-Hodson Library and Learning Commons\, 2nd floor.
