SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | African American Benevolent Societies in Montgomery County and Morningstar No. 88 of Order of Moses
DESCRIPTION:with Diane Baxter and Paige Whitley | pre-recorded virtual event | Benevolent societies in African American communities were an important support center for local black populations in the segregated post-Emancipation era. Historians note their role in not only providing a communal support system to members during times of sickness and death\, but also in building civic identities and training for civic activism. This talk provides an overview of benevolent societies in Montgomery County during Segregation and notes clues public records can provide as to their existence and workings. The case of Morningstar No. 88 of the Order of Moses in Cabin John\, Maryland\, and the remarkable artifacts (some of which are available online through the Montgomery County History Digital Repository) preserved by descendants and others provide additional glimpses into members’ lives and the workings of this organization.  What might be hiding in your attic?
