For decades, Middleton Place Foundation has been engaged in telling the stories of the Africans, African Americans, and Europeans who lived and worked at Middleton Place for over three centuries. A pioneer in the interpretation of slavery, the Foundation is constantly undertaking new initiatives that allow audiences to explore and examine themes to inspire a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other through our shared American history. This project will engage the descendant community in strengthening the ongoing slavery interpretation in two existing permanent exhibits – Eliza’s House and the Stableyards. The project, which was put on hold due to financial constraints as a result of the pandemic, will provide the public the opportunity to examine a more complete story of our complex American history with the hope to create empathy and build a more inclusive society. |
