Stagville Reunion

Thursday, June 21 2007 by | Send to a friend

The Stagville Plantation just north of Durham was one of the largest plantations in the antebellum South, at one time home to more than 900 slaves. For the first time, all of the plantation's descendants - owners and slaves alike - are being gathered together for a reunion to honor the past and celebrate the present. Ricky Hart, chairman of the Stagville Descendants Council and Charlene Justice-Bass, the council's president, join host Frank Stasio to talk about the rich history of Stagville ancestry.
