Jo Leimenstoll, UNC-Greensboro Professor, will discuss the life and work of Thomas Day (1801-1861), a renowned master craftsman from Milton, NC. He became the most successful cabinet maker in North Carolina, during a time when most blacks were enslaved and freed blacks were restricted in their activities. The presentation will come from Leimenstoll's recently published book Thomas Day: Master Craftsman and Free Man of Color. A book signing and reception will follow at The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts and Culture.
Lecture to start at 6pm in the Wells Fargo Auditorium at the Knight Theatre. Please reserve a seat by sending an email request to rsvp@historiccharlotte.org.
