SUMMARY:Nancy's Story at ETSU
DESCRIPTION:In 1820\, Elihu Embree published his newspaper The Emancipator on Main Street\, Jonesborough. The seven-edition paper is the first publication dedicated solely to the cause of abolitionism. Embree passed away in December of 1820\, and the paper died with him. Even though it was short-lived\, The Emancipator had over 2\,000 subscribers and its reach went all the way to Boston and Philadelphia. In spite of his abolitionist beliefs\, Embree himself was an enslaver. Nancy was an enslaved woman owned by Elihu Embree\, and her story will be shared on Sunday\, January 21\, 2024\, inside the Bach Theatre at the James C. & Mary B. Martin Center for the Arts at East Tennessee State University. \nWritten by Anne G’Fellers-Mason\, Former Executive Director of the Heritage Alliance and new Program Manager for the McKinney Center\, “Nancy” follows a year in the woman’s life\, from January 1820 when Elihu Embree wrote his will to January 1821 when his will was read before the Washington County court. In his will\, Embree tried to free Nancy and her five children\, but were his wishes carried out? What was Nancy feeling and thinking during this time? The play is based on primary research relying heavily on documents from the Washington County Archives. Local actress Ubunibi Afia Short takes on the titular role of Nancy. “We’re excited to finally be able to bring Nancy’s story to ETSU\,” says Mason. “It’s an honor to perform in the Martin Center for the Arts and to share this experience with Black American Studies and the ETSU Department of Theatre and Dance. Without their support\, this wouldn’t be possible.” The play is the recipient of an Award of Excellence from the Tennessee Association of Museums and a History in the Media Award from the East Tennessee Historical Society. \nOne performance will be held on January 21st at 2:00 pm inside the Bach Theatre in the James C. and Mary B. Martin Center for the Arts at 1320 W State of Franklin Road. The theatre will open for seating at 1:30 pm that afternoon. The show is about an hour in length followed by a question and answer session with the actress and playwright. If you have questions about this show\, please contact the Heritage Alliance at 423.753.9580\, or email Dr. Daryl Carter at carterda@mail.etsu.edu. Admission to the performance is free\, but donations for the Heritage Alliance and Black American Studies are encouraged. Seating inside the Bach Theatre is limited\, so you must register for your free ticket at\nhttps://go.activecalendar.com/etsu/site/arts/event/nancy-a-play-by-anne-gfellers-mason/. \n  \n \nThe Heritage Alliance is dedicated to the preservation of the architectural\, historical\, and cultural heritage of our region and to providing educational experiences related to history and heritage for a wide range of audiences.

SUMMARY:Nancy at Washington College Academy
DESCRIPTION:– In 1820\, Elihu Embree published his newspaper The Emancipator on Main Street\, Jonesborough. The seven edition paper is the first publication dedicated solely to the cause of abolitionism. Embree passed away in December of 1820\, and the paper died with him. Even though it was short-lived\, The Emancipator had over 2\,000 subscribers and its reach went all the way to Boston and Philadelphia. In spite of his abolitionist beliefs\, Embree himself was an enslaver. Nancy was an enslaved woman owned by Elihu Embree\, and her story will be shared at Washington College Academy on November 13th in an original play entitled “Nancy.” \n  \nWritten by Anne G’Fellers-Mason\, Executive Director of the Heritage Alliance\, “Nancy” follows a year in the woman’s life\, from January 1820 when Elihu Embree wrote his will to January 1821 when his will was read before the Washington County court.

SUMMARY:"Nancy" at Historic Embree Farm
DESCRIPTION:In 1820\, Elihu Embree published his newspaper The Emancipator on Main Street\, Jonesborough. The seven edition paper is the first publication dedicated solely to the cause of abolitionism. Embree passed away in December of 1820\, and the paper died with him. Even though it was short-lived\, The Emancipator had over 2\,000 subscribers and its reach went all the way to Boston and Philadelphia. In spite of his abolitionist beliefs\, Embree himself was an enslaver. Nancy was an enslaved woman owned by Elihu Embree\, and her story will be told on Saturday\, June 19th in an original play entitled “Nancy” at the Embree House Historic Farm in Telford. \n  \nWritten by Anne G’Fellers-Mason\, Executive Director of the Heritage Alliance\, “Nancy” will follow a year in the woman’s life\, from January 1820 when Elihu Embree wrote his will to January 1821 when his will was read before the Washington County court. In his will\, Embree tried to free Nancy and her five children\, but were his wishes carried out? What was Nancy feeling and thinking during this time? The play is based on primary research relying heavily on documents from the Washington County Archives. The role of Nancy will be performed by local actress Ubunibi-Afia Short. “I’ve wanted to tell Nancy’s story for a long time\,” says Mason\, “and it’s an honor to have such an amazing actress to help tell it. I believe Nancy’s story shows just how complicated the system of enslavement was in the United States and how unjust it was. We know Embree’s story so well. It’s past time we know Nancy’s.” \n  \nThree performances will be held on June 19th with showings at 1:00 pm\, 3:30 pm\, and 6:30 pm. The show will take place at the historic Embree House in Telford and will last about an hour. A Q&A session and a chance to tour parts of the Embree House will follow each performance. Tickets are $12.00 and proceeds from ticket sales will help fund the educational programs of the Heritage Alliance. You can purchase tickets through Jonesborough’s online system at jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Visitor’s Center at 423-753-1010. Seating is limited\, so make sure you purchase your tickets in advance. \n  \nJune 19th is recognized as Juneteenth\, or Emancipation Day\, a celebration of the day that word of emancipation finally reached a group of enslaved people in Galveston\, Texas in June of 1865. The Heritage Alliance hopes you will join us as a part of your celebration that day as we remember Nancy and tell her story.
