King Iron: The Untold Story of Enslaved Furnace Workers in Tennessee
September 8 - October 31
Created by the Tennessee African-American Historical Group, this new travelling exhibit examines the little known story of enslaved iron workers in the Volunteer State. Well researched and curated, “King Iron” seeks to further our understanding of pre-Civil War Tennessee through the lens of industrial slavery and its regional impact.
The exhibit will be at the Promise Land Historic Site in Charlotte, TN through October 31, 2024. For more information call 615-707-2130 or email plcc707@gmail.com.
