Escaped slave's story offers lesson -- Page 1 -- Times Union - Albany NY:
"Jared Gourrier walks across the Union College campus wearing a T-shirt that reads, 'Who's Moses Viney?'
If you ask the junior class president and American studies major to answer that question, be prepared for a lengthy and impassioned history lesson, delivered in the soft, honeyed drawl of his native New Orleans.
Gourrier will discuss his research on the life and times of Viney, a runaway slave who found refuge at Union College at a time when the issue of slavery was tearing apart the nation, at Founders Day on Thursday."
