Join University of Wyoming Assistant Professor of History, Cecily Zander, Ph.D. for a discussion at the Laramie County Library, 2200 Pioneer Avenue in the Cottonwood Room on Wednesday, February 25, 6:00pm-7:30pm for a discussion of how the formerly enslaved people surveyed a post-emancipation world, how they looked to the Great Plains for their promised “new birth of freedom,” and how their journey proved that the events of the Civil War and Reconstruction had a continental impact.
