MLK Weekend
January 12 - 15, 2024
Please join us in hearing the lesser known, often repressed, accounts of The Underground Railroad and beyond.
Historians and local voices share personal accounts, stories passed down, and historical truths.
Be connected in acknowledgement of the history of Black Valley and The Underground Railroad.
Distinguished Guest and Leader
Garnell Washington
Dr. GE Washington holds a PhD in art education and a national reputation for innovative program development, community organizing, and creative curriculum happenings. GE is a seventh-generation Black farmer from Bedford PA and also offers over 18 years of experience as a professional facilitator and community activist. His performances and community organizing work have touched communities across North America, from housing projects in Chicago, Illinois to community development organizations in Grenada, and teaching institutes on the border at Nogales, Mexico. As a facilitator, he asks what happens to identities that are not accepted or perhaps not easily seen. He focuses on the micro-events that occur when we learn together and believes that the practice of analyzing micro-aggressions builds stronger, deeper relationships.
