TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2023

Dear Friends,

Increase your influence on the next generation by joining us this year for the annual event, Giving Tuesday.

Our world is changing at a rapid pace. The work of the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation is committed to remembering the past (Commemoration),

telling this and the next generation the facts (Education),

and modeling restored relationships that lead to a more peaceful and unified community (Reconciliation).

Along with many educational programs and speaker opportunities, new reveals and grateful recognitions, it will prove to be another extraordinary year….. AND with friends like you, we will succeed!

This Giving Tuesday, we would like to give to anyone who donates $100 or more, our new Special Edition Cover Dred Scott Pocket Constitution in commemoration of the 165th anniversary of Dred’s death in 1857 on September 17th, (Constitution Day)!

If you have donated in the past, we hope you will continue your gracious giving.

If this is your first opportunity to participate in Giving Tuesday, we invite you to be a part of uplifting this sincere work and accept our heartfelt thanks!

New Marker for Harriet Scott

Harriet Robins Scott is buried at Greenwood Cemetery in St. Louis.  For many years, her location was not known.  Mrs. Etta Daniels had the records and a few people knew but it was not revealed publicly until 2006 when Mrs. Ruth Ann Hager, a certified genealogist was doing research on Harriet and through several attempts concluding with a phone call to Lynne Jackson, she was able to narrow down the many Harriet’s to one, our Harriet at Greenwood.  This happened to occur in 2006, a year prior to the 150th anniversary of the Dred Scott Decision in 2007. As Lynne likes to say, “She wasn’t going to miss out  on the party!”
