Announcing a new exhibit from The Edward H. Nabb Research Center!
“Enduring Connections, Enduring Legacies: Black Histories on Delmarva in the Late 19th Century” is now on view on the first floor of the Guerrieri Academic Commons. This exhibit highlights stories researched by Robert F. Smith interns sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute Museum of African American History and Culture.
There is also a more detailed Enduring Connections website that includes complete stories and many accompanying documents. The sources compiled on this site help reveal important elements of Black life on the Delmarva Peninsula including family relationships, community connections, the end of slavery, attempts to re-unite family members, work and wealth-building, and connection to the land and water.
