URR NEWS: NEW YORK CAPITAL REGION URR CONFERENCE (FEBRUARY 26, 2005) CALL
FOR PAPERS AND PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
[From Paul Stewart [email protected]]
The Underground Railroad History Project of the Capital Region, Inc.
invites you to the 4th Annual Underground Railroad History Conference, "Underground Railroad: Discoveries and Emerging Stories."
The date is Saturday, February 26, 2005, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., at Schenectady High School (a 10-minute drive from the NYS Thruway).
The conference Keynote Address will be by Paul & Mary Liz Stewart on
"Emerging UGR
Stories About New York's Capital Region: What Do We Know and Where Do We Go
From Here?" Featured at the conference will be Kim Harris' Underground Railroad
opera "Friends of
Freedom: An Underground Railroad Story," an opera for family audiences
written and produced by Kim Harris.
We've outgrown the College of St. Rose. St. Rose has been a wonderful
partner these last two years, and for this we express our gratitude, but
space considerations have motivated us to relocate. Since URHPCR focuses on
Capital Region UGR history, we will begin celebrating our stories around
the Capital Region by holding this year's conference at Schenectady High
School.
Call for workshop presenters: If you would like to present a UGR topic at
a workshop in 2005, please email an explanation of your workshop content to
the Conference Planning Committee at [email protected]
by November 22,
2004. The Conference Planning Committee will review your explanation and
respond to you by December 20.
