The Chattooga County Historical Society will be meeting Sunday at 2pm at the depot in Summerville. Everyone is invited. The program will be about the film “ Her Name was Hester.” Hester Scoggins was born into slavery in Georgia. She was a wet nurse for the Scoggins family in Dirt Town Valley in the county. More than a century after her passing, the descendants of Hester and her enslavers lived as neighbors and friends unaware of their shared history until 2021. We have invited Betty and Melvin Mosley and Stacie Scoggins Marshall to come and share the stories of how they came together for the film and the founding of Hester’s Heritage Foundation. We will be screening the special preview trailer of the movie. Join us as they tell their story and respond to questions. Learning the good and bad of our past can guide us to become better friends and neighbors today.
