Sutton, retired Chief Historian of the National Park Service.\u00a0 Together, their presentations and the ensuing discussions pried open what has for 150-years been the carefully concealed history of Reconstruction, its legacies, and the significant role that Memphis played in both. We are thankful for all who joined us live or followed us on social media as we reflected collectively on a wave of terror that rocked a city and changed a nation.<\/p>\nBelow are the names and titles of panel one, \u201cSlavery and Slave Life in the Mississippi Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/history.ua.edu\/faculty\/joshua-d-rothman\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\">Joshua D.
