Immediately following the Veterans’ Day Ceremony will be a free performance by actress Pippa White, titled Civil War Women. Using excerpts from actual historical letters, Civil War Women will take the audience to the battlefields, farms, cities, and homesteads of the women who lived through the Civil War, which ended 150 years ago. Hear the experiences from “saints, soldiers and spies”–proof that women in war have never been on the sidelines. Civil War Women will be in Jenkins Auditorium as 12:30 and is free and open to the public.
