Daniel African American Cultural Center host “Liberation and Reconstruction: Clarksville and Montgomery County, 1860-1880.” Kelly Jones, assistant professor of history at Austin Peay, said the event will bring together both university and community scholars, to discuss Clarksville’s rich past, while exploring what needs to be done as caretakers of that history.

Noon Friday, retired Col. Mike Taliento from the Mount Olive Cemetery Historical Preservation Society, will visit the Wilbur N. Daniel African American Cultural Center to lead a discussion about the group’s caretaking efforts and tell the stories of some of the African-American Civil War veterans buried at Mount Olive. The event continues Saturday at the William O. Beach Civic Hall with a symposium covering a number of topics, including the development of African-American communities in Clarksville, politics following the war and the role of churches and women during that era.
