SUMMARY:Sotterley Presents: People & Perspectives with Lauren Zimmerman
DESCRIPTION:May 21\, 2025 – The Southern Maryland Wine Growers Cooperative (SMWGC) was formed in 2007 by a group of local farmers\, of which several were transitioning away from tobacco production to begin planting grapes. 12 farms came together to form the SMWGC making it the first grape-growing cooperative in the state of Maryland leading the way for viticulture and future wineries. With the help of local funding\, the group opened Port of Leonardtown Winery in 2010 to process and sell their product. The Port of Leonardtown Winery has developed a strong reputation for producing premium wines grown from vineyards located throughout Maryland. The Winery is located in the prosperous town of Leonardtown and is open daily for wine tastings. \nLauren Zimmerman\, winemaker at Port of Leonardtown Winery\, will be joined by David Wood\, current President of the Southern Maryland Wine Growers Co-op\, and vineyard owner at Forest Hall Farm\, who supplies grapes to Port of Leonardtown Winery to speak about the Southern Maryland Wine Growers Cooperative and Port of Leonardtown Winery. \n\n\n\n  \nThis is a FREE in-person event. Registration is required.\nAll participants are welcome to join us for a pre-reception at 6:15 pm.\n\nRegister Here!\n\nLauren Y. Zimmerman has 20 years of experience managing different areas of the wine industry\, from grape growing\, and winemaking\, to marketing and sales. After graduating with a degree in Enology\, she purchased land and planted 5 acres of vines in her hometown of Wellington\, Ontario\, Canada. She has worked with wineries around North America and New Zealand\, gaining experience from top players in the industry. Lauren met her husband and moved to Maryland in 2012. Since working with Port of Leonardtown Winery\, the winery has brought home numerous prestigious awards\, including five Best in Show trophies. Lauren is a big advocate for local tourism and is an ongoing ambassador for the local craft beverage industries.

SUMMARY:Sotterley Presents: People & Perspectives with Jennifer Ritterhouse
DESCRIPTION:June 11\, 2025 – When white newspaper editor Jonathan Daniels set out to “discover the South” in his stately black Plymouth in the summer of 1937\, he especially hoped to find the land that existed somewhere between the mythical old plantation and the sharecropper’s cabin\, between Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind and Erskine Caldwell’s Tobacco Road. He succeeded. His published and unpublished accounts of his trip captured a panoramic picture of the South during the Great Depression. In Discovering the South: One Man’s Travels through a Changing America in the 1930s\, historian Jennifer Ritterhouse follows Daniels on his journey to explore a wide range of interrelated topics\, from the impact of the New Deal and the southern literary Renaissance\, to the tragic Scottsboro case and planters’ and industrialists’ violent suppression of labor organizing. \nThe questions at the center of Discovering the South are big ones: What was the true nature of the South and its problems\, and who was trying to address them–in what ways\, against what opposition\, and with what results–during the Roosevelt years? More provocatively\, why\, in the late 1930s when Jonathan Daniels\, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt\, and a great many other Americans were “traveling\,” did the destination of a more just and egalitarian South prove so impossible to reach? \n  \nThis is a FREE hybrid event\, meaning you can join in person or virtually. Registration is required. \nIn-person attendees are welcome to join us for a pre-reception at 6:15 pm. \n  \nRegister for In-Person Attendance Here!\nRegister for Virtual Attendance Here!\n  \nJennifer Ritterhouse is Professor of History at George Mason University. She specializes in the history of the post-Reconstruction South\, with emphasis on race and gender issues. She is the author of Discovering the South: One Man’s Travels Through a Changing America in the 1930s (UNC Press\, 2017) and Growing Up Jim Crow: How Black and White Southern Children Learned Race (UNC Press\, 2006). She is the editor of a reprint edition of Sarah Patton Boyle’s autobiography\, The Desegregated Heart: A Virginian’s Stand in Time of Transition (UVA Press\, 2001)\, and one of several co-editors of Remembering Jim Crow: African Americans Tell About Life in the Segregated South (New Press\, 2001). Her current research focuses on the surprisingly southern history of the women’s rights projects of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in the 1970s. \n  \nThis event is made possible in part by a sponsorship from:

SUMMARY:Sotterley Presents: People & Perspectives with Dr. Tayzhuan Glover
DESCRIPTION:July 16\, 2025 – During the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain\, hundreds of enslaved men\, women\, and children in the Chesapeake\, Georgia\, Florida\, and Louisiana were able to secure their freedom by offering aid to the British. Following the war\, many of these freedom-seekers were resettled in Nova Scotia and Trinidad. This presentation will use American and British colonial archives to follow the journey to freedom of the enslaved men\, women\, and children from Historic Sotterley who were resettled in Trinidad in 1815\, where they laid the foundation for Trinidad’s “Merikin” descendant community.\n\n\n  \nThis is a FREE hybrid event\, meaning participants can join us in-person OR virtually. Registration is required.\nIn-person participants are welcome to join us for a pre-reception at 6:30pm with cookies and drinks.\n\nRegister Here to Attend In-Person\nRegister Here to Attend Virtually\n\n\nDr. Tayzhaun Glover received a Ph.D. in History from Duke University in 2024. He also received a B.A. in Africana Studies\, Anthropology\, and French from Franklin & Marshall College in 2017. He is primarily interested in the seaborne mobility practices of freedom-seeking enslaved men\, women\, and children in the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Eastern Caribbean\, and the Americas\, more broadly. He engages with questions about labor\, geography\, law\, and European and Indigenous sovereignty to understand how enslaved people conceptualized refuge\, liberty\, and freedom based on their geopolitical knowledge of their worlds. His research has received support from Fulbright France\, The McNeil Center for Early American Studies\, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History\, the Duke History and African and African American Studies departments\, and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. He is currently a Mellon Humanities Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the National Park Service where he researches and interprets the legacy of enslaved people from the Chesapeake who joined the Colonial Marines during the War of 1812 \n  \nAre you interested in hearing more about human migration?  Visit Lexington Park Library to view the exhibit World on the Move\, 250\,000 Years of Human Migration\, from July 21 – August 22\, 2025.\n\n\n\n\nThis event is made possible in part by a sponsorship from:
