First Baptist Church Lexington
Jointly presented by the Rockbridge Regional Library, Rockbridge Historical Society, Union Baptist Church, Glasgow & First Baptist Church, Lexington, this free multi-media event will be hosted on the final Saturday of Black History Month, at Lexington’s First Baptist Church. Spanning the social and spiritual dimensions of enslavement and emancipation, the program’s featured historian is Prof. Charles Dew, acclaimed author of “Bond of Iron.” His remarks will be complemented by presentations and displays from other local history organizations, as well as church leaders, choirs, and soloists. The library’s Lexington branch is also holding a special related exhibit, from Feb. 12-23.
