Echoes of the Enslaved

Echoes of the Enslaved is an annual commemoration seeking to highlight local archeological discoveries and address the lasting legacies of chattel slavery in Prince George’s County through conversation and connection. Concord Historic Site is the host for this year’s event, a former tobacco plantation-turned-center of African American resilience and legacy. Join us under the light of the harvest moon to reflect on the skills and traditions that enabled African Americans to find their way in the natural environment. The evening will feature hands-on educational activities, a panel of acclaimed speakers, and intimate fireside conversations centering Concord’s evolving interpretation of Black history, land stewardship, and community legacy.
