About me

I’m Dr. Angela Sutton, a historian focused on race, memory, and freedom in the Civil War era. I’m a research associate professor at Vanderbilt. I also lead public history projects that center stories long overlooked, especially those of the Black refugees, soldiers, and veterans who shaped the South’s path to emancipation. My work has attracted international, federal, and local awards and blends scholarship with site preservation.
