Family, Fugitivity and the Black Freedom Movement

Vincent and Rosemarie Harding were among a generation of scholar-activists powerfully committed to the liberation of Black people and to the transformation of U.S. society toward a more just, equitable, and compassionate multiracial democracy.   On October 12, Rachel Harding gave a lecture on the spiritual and political foundations of her parents’ work, and the impact on her own work of growing up in the Freeney-Harding household.  The lecture was presented in honor of educators Drs. Dwight and Dolly Mullen and Drs. Charles and Deborah James, emeritus professors of the University of North Carolina Asheville.
