Friends - Today at 4 PM at the Ft. Negley Park Visitors Center, a remembrance will be held with keynote speaker Dr. Lea Williams, presenting "Slave to Soldier, Contraband to Citizen: Acknowledging Our History." Hear of their arduous transition and the gamble of self-emancipation in the hope of a better future for their descendants. Also, read today's Tennessean article regarding the "ground-truthing" (digging) underway at Ft. Negley Park. Help us continue to shine a light on our past - and shine a light on this very strange present situation of our city leaders supporting giving away protected public parkland. Steadfast for this sacred ground, Alice Ganier Rolli District 17
