SUMMARY:Oaklands Mansion in Partnership with The African American Heritage Society of Rutherford County Presents: "David Maney; From Enslavement to Legacy"
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 18th at 2:00PM\, everyone is invited to attend a presentation by Elma McKnight\, a retired Murfreesboro City School System educator. McKnight is a direct descendant of David Maney\, a blacksmith who was enslaved on the Oaklands / Maney plantation. The plantation would later become a battlefield\, an historic house museum and public park. \n\n\nFor five generations\, the legacy of David Maney has been rooted in Murfreesboro. David was a skilled blacksmith whose labor and craftsmanship helped sustain the very grounds where history is now preserved. Today\, that legacy comes full circle. Five generations later\, his granddaughter\, Elma Black McKnight\, now serves on the Board of Trustees at Oaklands Mansion\, the same site where her ancestor once lived and labored. Her service represents not only a powerful personal journey\, but a living connection to history\, resilience\, and the enduring presence of David Maney’s family in Murfreesboro. Join us as McKnight shares David Maney’s story. \nTo read the Untold Story of the Maney Family Slaves\, visit www.oaklandsmansion.org and click on “Slavery” at the top of the page. You can find Oaklands Mansion on Facebook and Instagram. This event is free\, open to the public and will take place rain or shine. Reservations are not required.

SUMMARY:RCAS Meeting with Historian Robbie D. Jones on 'Civil Rights March Routes as Linear Resources'
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our April 2026 RCAS meeting on Sunday\, April 19 at 2:00 PM at Oaklands Mansion Event Hall\, 901 N. Maney Ave.\, Murfreesboro\, TN. We are excited to be hosting a special presentation by award-winning historian Robbie D. Jones\, M.A\, entitled “‘We’re Gonna March’: Civil Rights March Routes as Liner Resources.” This research and documentation examines historic roadways in several states.\n\nIn Mr. Jones words: In the 1950s and 60s\, Americans took to the streets to protest inequality as part of the Civil Rights Movement. In the fight for equal rights\, march routes served as battlefields\, often bloody and sometimes deadly. Armies of protestors risked their freedom and their lives in small towns\, big cities\, and along rural highways. The birthplace of revolutions\, many Americans consider these march routes as sacred ground. This presentation will share information on how to better identify\, document\, and evaluate march routes as cultural landscape sites and linear transportation resources worthy of preservation and commemoration. Case studies include marches in Alabama\, California\, Kentucky\, Maryland\, New York\, and Tennessee.\nOur meetings are free and open to the public. Doors open at 1:30PM with refreshments. See you there!
