Talk on slavery slated Nov. 20 4:35 p.m., Nov. 14, 2006--Carole Marks, UD professor of sociology, will lecture on “'Moses and the Monster and Miss Anne': Three Dangerous Women of the Eastern Shore of Maryland” at the third Black American Studies brown-bag lecture of the fall semester, set for 12:15-1:10 p.m., Monday, Nov. 20, in 206 Trabant University Center. In her talk, Marks will talk about three history-making women--one a slave, one a rescuer and one a slave-catcher and holder. She will examine how all three women were raised in a region filled with nonconformists and religious dissenters, and how this shaped their independent spirits. Marks is the author of the book, Farewell We're Good and Gone: The Great Black Migration, and was one of 12 distinguished scholars who contributed to In Motion: The African-American Migration Experience, a book about the migration of blacks. Marks also has published several articles and made many presentations in the field of the black underclass and the work of black women. The lecture is free and open to the public, and participants are encouraged to bring and eat their lunches during the talk. For more information on this event, call (302) 831-2897. |
