In November, 1864, in Philadelphia, there was quite a spectacle when a massive ‘transparency’ was put up in front of the Headquarters of the Supervisory Committee for Recruiting Colored Regiments, “…In Commemoration of Emancipation in Maryland.” Come hear what it was, why it was done, who made it and what each of it’s myriad illustrations signified. Learn, too, which USCT regiment from Camp William Penn paraded through the city’s streets as part of the celebration!
Kerry Bryan in attendance as Lucretia Mott
Joe Becton and Antoine Watts, musicians and USCT re-enactors, will perform Civil War music and lead a sing-along.
