The Carter G. Woodson Institute hosted a symposium in honor of Reginald D. Butler. Prompted by the recent publication of Dr. Butler’s influential, but never published manuscript, The Evolution of a Rural Free Black Community: Goochland County, Virginia, 1728-1832 (University of Virginia Press, 2025).
Our annual event featuring presentations from new and returning Woodson fellows. Each fellow will provide a brief overview of their current research project.
