Sugarland Ethno History Project hosted on the Heritage Montgomery YouTube Channel
During the presentation, Johnson and Tetrault mention a video titled "Sugarland Ethno History Project" that gives a great background for the project and the history of the Sugarland Community. See below for their information about the video hosted on the Heritage Montgomery YouTube channel:
"Located just south of Poolesville, Maryland, the African American community of Sugarland was founded by formerly enslaved people. The Sugarland Ethno-History Project documents and keeps the memory of this community alive through the restored 1893 church, nearby cemetery, and over 1,000 artifacts and documents that tell the broader experiences of African Americans from bondage to present day. This video is dedicated to the memory of Gwendora Hebron Reese (1941-2021).
