On November 4, 2023 we were honored to host NY times bestselling author Gregory May talking about his new book, "A Madman's Will" We were fortunate to be able to have this event in the former Trinity Church, now a beautiful venue known as The 1833.
Mr. May shared the story of the Randolph Freed People, one of the largest manumissions in American history prior to the Emancipation Proclamation and their journey to obtain their freedom.
