Spend an evening with Lacretia Johnson Flash (Burlington Co-Housing Resident) and the great-great-grand-daughter of Amy and Tapp Craig, as she reflects on the journey of learning about her family's fascinating life and legacy.

After their emancipation from slavery, the Craigs became one of the first Black landowners in Perry County, Tennessee with the purchase of a farm that has remained in the family since 1871. Following the death of her mother, Dr. Lacretia Johnson Flash — along with a team of journalists, distant family, and friendly strangers — journeyed through rural Tennessee to uncover a path of discovery, healing, and transformation.

Dr. Lacretia Johnson Flash's story has been featured in the Reuters series on Slavery's Descendants, American Dreams, and NBC Nightly News, captivating audiences nationwide. For this special Shelburne Farms event, Dr. Lacretia Johnson Flash connects her long standing relationship with Shelburne Farms to the story of discovering her family's hidden legacy.

This event is free, open to the public, with light refreshments. Registration is required. Please go to the link for further details.
