Presenting my paper today titled, Under the Physician's Gaze: Doctoring Black Bodies in the Antebellum South as part of the race and southern institutions panel. This work has been an extension of my masters reseach and I'm happy to be able to share it for the first time.

This past semester a group and I have been working on a practicum project to memorialize the Columbian Harmony Cemetery in collaboration with @PrologueDC. This was the first black burial ground in DC. Check out the project and look out for a truck exhibit this Fall!

Our first poster of the day is presented by Katlyn Calamito, @agallagherhist, @beccakaliff, and @LexiZilen!
The Columbian Harmony Cemetery was an African American burial ground founded in the early nineteenth century in Washington DC.
