Lecture on Slavery in North Carolina in the 18th Century
We hope you joined us for a lecture by Earl Ijames on Slavery in 18th-Century North Carolina on February 4, 2010 at 7 pm. Admission was $15 for the public and $10 for members of the Joel Lane Historical Society. Refreshments were served. Seating was limited, and reservations were required. You could have called 919-833-3431 with your MasterCard or Visa, or mailed a check to P O Box 10884, Raleigh NC 27605. It was important to include the names of all in your party; nametags served as tickets.
Earl Ijames is Curator for African American and Community History at the North Carolina Museum Of History. A native of Winston-Salem, he shared his research into the history of African Americans in North Carolina. His tales of how North Carolinians got the name “Tar Heels” were hair-raising.
You may know Earl from his former position as Resident Archivist at the NC Office of Archives and History. He has also done extensive public speaking and is very active in the community. He graduated from NSCU with a degree in history and minors in English and African-American studies. He is residing in and restoring a Victorian ranch house that he moved from Zebulon to Wendell so he knows first-hand the challenges of caring for an old building. He has voiced a Confederate laborer for an exhibit at the Museum of History and played the role of Thomas Day’s brother in the film Exploring the World of Thomas Day. It was an enlightening talk by a fascinating speaker.
