From an episode recorded June 10, 2021, we talk with Reynauld Smith, an Olney resident and board member of the Sandy Spring Slave Museum. Smith shares the experiences of his ancestors’ emancipation from slavery on June 19, 1865. The date is now known nationally as “Juneteenth.”
Smith also offers information about the Sandy Spring Slave Museum which chronicles the African American history from slavery through modern times, as well as, African and Caribbean Art.
