Remember: FREE PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THE SOUTH | Warren Milteer RECOLLECT

Warren Milteer is Assistant Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and the author of North Carolina’s Free People of Color, 1715-1885 (LSU Press, 2020), and his most recent work, Beyond Slavery’s Shadow: Free People of Color in the South (UNC Press, 2021). In this conversation, Milteer shares how this free community of color came to be, how they launched independent churches, schools, and businesses, and how they endured an ongoing battle against forced servitude, reenslavement, deportation, and white supremacy.

“History is not just his story, or her story, or my story - it’s our story. It is with us, it is alive, and it will survive as long as the truth shall live. Never forget, never ever forget...who we are.”
