The Winnsboro Easter Rock: An Easter Eve Ritual
Tuesday, February 20 : 6pm : Events Center

Dr. Susan Roach will discuss Easter Rock, an Easter eve vigil ritual, solely documented in the plantation churches of Northeast Louisiana. Created by uprooted, enslaved people, this antebellum, women-led tradition survives in Winnsboro, LA.

Exploring scholarship, church & family history, & interviews with tradition bearers provides insight into the Rock’s history & evolution over the last 175-plus years.
