Join A Call To Action for an unforgettable evening as Joseph McGill, Jr., founder of the Slave Dwelling Project, shares powerful stories from his journey preserving and honoring the history of enslaved people through the restoration and protection of slave dwellings across the United States. 

In this installment of the ACTA Speakers series we look forward to a multi-media talk, Where Mr. McGill will chronicle his unique experiences spending nights in these historical structures, shedding light on their significance and the lives of those once forced to live within them.
