AMERICA’S HIDDEN STORIES: FORGED IN SLAVERY
June 6, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Weinberg Center for the Arts
Tuesday, June 6 | 7:00 PM
Who were the enslaved ironworkers of Frederick County’s Catoctin Furnace? What happened to their community? The Smithsonian Channel’s America’s Hidden Stories: Forged in Slavery reveals a startling new picture of slavery and the role that skilled African Americans played in America’s Industrial Revolution. This film is being premiered at the Weinberg Center prior to airing on the Smithsonian Chanel. This is a free film event, but tickets are required. Following the screening there will be a VIP reception where attendees will meet the filmmakers and cast. Tickets for the VIP reception are $75, and the proceeds benefit AARCH’s new Heritage Center. This reception will be held at New Spire Arts, located directly across the street from the Weinberg Center at 15 West Patrick Street.
