SUMMARY:Cemetery Citizens: Author Talk with Adam Rosenblatt
DESCRIPTION:Join the Museum of Durham History, Preservation Durham, and Friends of Geer Cemetery for a FREE conversation between Adam Rosenblatt, PhD, and Debra Taylor Gonzalez-Garcia, as they discuss his book, Cemetery Citizens: Reclaiming the Past and Working for Justice in American Burial Grounds. This event is Monday, June 2, 6:30PM-8PM at Durham’s historic Chesterfield Building (701 W. Main St.), Suite 2908.\nCemetery Citizens is an ethnography of grassroots groups working to preserve and honor places of the marginalized dead. The book largely focuses on ongoing reclamation efforts in African American burial grounds, including Durham’s own Geer Cemetery. It uses sketches and poetic inquiry to “draw out” the voices and active, embodied presence of descendants, grassroots activists and memory-workers. In his talk, Professor Rosenblatt will additionally spend time on his methodology, interactions with the Durham community, and research strategies.\n
