Dr. Timothy Huebner, Rhodes professor, will be speaking to us about Nathan Bedford Forrest’s career as a slave trader in Memphis during the 1850s. He will also detail his work with Rhodes students to present this story clearly and accurately through a new marker to be placed at the site of Forrest’s slave mart.
