Historic Sotterley Partnerships with Purpose

Descendants Gwen Bankins and Angela Wilson also took an active role in the recent Commemorative to Enslaved Peoples of Southern Maryland, The Sacred Journey, Re-making Our Lives Anew, at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, on November 13, 2021. Both descendants were on the Panel of Remembrance and Relevance and presented their thoughts to the audience. The presentation was followed by a Procession of Dignity, that traveled throughout the campus to the Commemorative site and to the water’s edge. As a UNESCO Slave Route Site of Memory, Sotterley joins our friends and partners at St. Mary’s College of Maryland to continue the important work of research and remembrance.
