The remarkable story of Harriet and Dred Scott clearly resonates on the eve of the 160th Anniversary of the Dred Scott Decision. Whether you have or haven’t heard the history of the “worst decision the U.S. Supreme Court ever rendered”, their story continues in the work of the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation.
Winding through the days since the events of Ferguson, the year 2016 especially saw remarkable connections with the living histories of the past; whether in moments and events of reconciliation, or most recently, the launching of the Dred Scott Sons and Daughters of Reconciliation. Come and hear about this incredible journey and of the lives of Dred and Harriet Scott.
Their story will be told by their great-great granddaughter, Lynne Jackson, President and Founder of the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation.
