More Details >Brown Bag Lunch Lecture - African-American Fraternal Headstones in Arkansas
|
Arkansas’s African-American cemeteries are dotted with monuments from fraternal organizations like the Supreme Royal Circle of Friends, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, and Mosaic Templars of America. The monuments reflect a strong interest and need for burial insurance among African Americans at the turn of the century. This presentation, by Dr. Blake Wintory, will discuss fraternal history and show examples from throughout Arkansas. Wintory is the Assistant Director and Facilities Manager of Lakeport Plantation. He has published articles in the Arkansas Historical Quarterly, including an article on William Hines Furbush, an African-American legislator and sheriff in Lee County, Arkansas, and a biographical analysis of Arkansas’s 84 nineteenth-century African-American state legislators. Admission to Brown Bag Lunch Lectures is free. Participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch; beverages are provided.
