Shari L. Williams, The Ridge Executive Director & Ph.D candidate, Auburn University, will highlight interactions of Creeks, settlers and enslaved persons as the Federal Road evolved from a pre-historic Native-American hunting and trading path into a conduit for U.S. westward expansion and a contributor to Creek Indian forced removal.
