This year, in 2019, the United States observes the 400th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the arrival of the first\u00a0enslaved Africans to the English colony of\u00a0Jamestown, Virginia. After 250 years of bondage, former slaves anticipated that the end of slavery in 1865 would bring freedom, equality, and opportunity.\u00a0Following Reconstruction, however, Jim Crow laws, economic exploitation, and racial terror dashed the hopes of many African Americans.<\/p>\n

As a means to engage with the nation\u2019s racial past and its present-day relevance, UTC\u2019s Africana Studies program<\/a> and Department of History<\/a> invite students, faculty, and the wider campus community to join a funded day trip to Montgomery\u2019s National Memorial for Peace & Justice<\/a> and the Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration.<\/p>\n
