Poolesville Seniors Celebrates Black History Month

Lifting Up Our Community for Black History Month 

In celebration of Black History Month, Poolesville Seniors is pleased to share with you the stories of once thriving Free Slave Communities in and around Poolesville. Perhaps you remember hearing the names: Big Woods, Jerusalem, Jonesville, Martinsburg, and Sugarland. Fortunately, two esteemed community historians chose to share their ancestors’ past contributions with our audience. Watch Pastor Chuck Copeland’s History of Martinsburg, and Mr. Skip Etheridge’s Sugarland Story on the Poolesville Seniors’ YouTube channel;
