Jane Williamson, Director Emerita of Rokeby Museum, presents “Finding Jesse,” which traces Jesse’s life from enslavement in North Carolina to freedom in Vermont. His story is told through letters in the collection at the Museum and documents at the North Carolina State Archives. The illustrated talk brings the narrative of one freedom seeker out of anonymity and explores his life and his pursuit of freedom.
