This month we are reading an article about the history of Black soldiers from Rutland in the Civil War. Download a PDF of the article here.
“The telling of Vermont history would be incomplete without the telling of contributions of persons of African heritage in the state,” as said so eloquently by Curtiss Reed, Jr., executive director of Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity and creator of the Vermont African American Heritage Trail.
We look forward to discussing this piece of our area’s history.
