Lecture on African Americans at Hopewell Furnace

For more than a century, African Americans lived and worked at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site alongside their white counterparts. Author Frances Delmar will discuss what their lives were like at a lecture and book signing. Delmar is the National Park Service Chief of Education and Interpretation at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site and author of the new book The African American Experience at Hopewell Furnace. The slim 24-page book is attractively illustrated with photographs of re-enactors portraying 18th and 19th century African Americans on Hopewell’s grounds. It will be available for sale for $5.95 after the lecture.
