Join us this Juneteenth as we learn about one of the Dakota Territory’s first African American sheroes. You won’t want to miss this Chautauqua living history performance highlighting South Dakota history!
The Yankton Community Library is very excited to host Joyce Jefferson, a South Dakota Humanities Scholar and Chautauqua Performer. Jefferson will be presenting “Sarah Campbell: She Vanquished with the Vanguard of Civilization.” Join us on Monday, June 19, 2023 at 12 p.m. to “meet” and interact with Sarah Campbell (also known as Aunt Sally) as she tells us about her experiences as the first documented non-Native woman to come to the Black Hills with George Armstrong Custer’s 1874 Expedition.
You are also welcome to join us virtually with GoToMeeting: https://meet.goto.com/262148469.
The presentation will be geared toward an adult/teen audience but all ages are welcome. This engaging and informative program is made possible with funding from the South Dakota Humanities Council, which is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
