Mount Clare is one such site and Teresa Moyer examines the lives of its former slaves and the issues keeping these findings hidden. Raising questions about how race continues to affect the decisions made at historic sites, Moyer discovers that slaves at Mount Clare adopted the ceremonies of their owners while still exercising their freedoms of family and homeland culture.Cultural heritage studies.SlaveryMarylandBaltimoreHistoryHistoric buildingsMarylandBaltimoreAfrican AmericansMarylandBaltimoreHistoryEnslaved personsDwellingsMarylandBaltimoreHistoryBaltimore (Md.)Buildings, structures, etcSlaveryHistory.Historic buildingsAfrican AmericansHistory.Enslaved personsDwellingsHistory.306.3/62097526Moyer Teresa S.1976-1156032Shackel Paul A.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819170103321Ancestors of worthy life4006400UNINA
