Failed Moses: An Escaped Slave Recaptured

Description

Join Homewood Museum for a special brown bag lunchtime talk on Moses Addision, the enslaved man who led an attempted escape from Doughoregan Manor after Charles Carroll of Carrollton's death in 1832. Hear from researcher Jonathan Carroll III how Moses and two other fugitives made their way to Homewood and how their eventual recapture reverberated through local enslaved communities.

Jonathan Carroll III is a special education teacher, coach, and amateur genealogist. He is currently on leave from Princeton University, where he is a religion major with a focus on African American history and liberation theology.
