This video was edited and produced by Kelan Amme, with support of Tyler Caruso, in collaboration with the IIPT-Commonwealth Monument Project and the Pennsylvania Past Players of the T. Morris Chester Welcome Center and Research Collection at the McCormick Riverfront Library. The item is part of a broader collaborative initiative, “The Chester Way: Stories of Freedom, Equity, and Justice in Pennsylvania’s Capital Region,” which centers around the 'way' of Thomas Morris Chester, the highly respected Black journalist, soldier, lawyer, and civil rights proponent in the U.S. and wider world in the 19th century. Special thanks to The Dauphin County Library System, the McCormick Riverfront Library, the T. Morris Chester Welcome Center and Research Collection, the Giant Company, the Dauphin County Tourism Development Fund, the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism (IIPT), the Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC).
