Born a slave for President Madison in 1810, George Gilmore and his wife Polly raised five children on a small sharecroppers farm after emancipation. Built by George Gilmore and his sons, the cabin is one of only a few existing freedman's homes left standing in the United States. In this program, we also visit a reconstructed Jim Crow train station near the cabin, where segregated "white" and "colored" waiting rooms were once the law of Virginia. Our tour guide is Christian Cotz, Montpelier director of visitor engagement. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/305738-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Vignette http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/305738-1 Sun, 06 May 2012 23:01:33 GMT
