Saturday, August 1, at 10:00 AM
Blackistone Room, St. Mary’s College
The Unified Committee for Afro-American Contributions (UCAC) History and Research Committee invites you, on behalf of Historic St. Mary’s City (HSMC), to a special kick-off meeting to learn about a new project which will expand and develop the current “Struggle for Freedom” exhibit at the Brome Plantation site. UCAC has agreed to support this project and we want to spread the word to anyone with an interest in this history, especially those who may have ancestral ties to the Brome Plantation.

“It just seemed like everywhere I went there was something that touched people's hearts, that made them accept me as being in a place that I ought not be, doing something I ought not have the ability to do. And that's just the way my life has been.” — Irvin Beverly, March 2025
