Plantation on the Hudson: Interpreting Slavery in the Hudson River Valley, with Michael A. Lord, Associate Director, Philipsburg Manor, Tarrytown

Join host Leslie Jacobson for a lecture about enslavement in the Hudson River Valley. Historian Michael A. Lord will discuss how Philipsburg Manor created and implemented a new interpretative plan that introduces visitors to the issue of enslavement in the north. Using a select group of enslaved individuals, Lord's conversation will trace the development of slavery in New York, everyday life for those enslaved in the Hudson River valley, resistance to the institution, emancipation, and why this most-American of stories continues to be relevant.

Space is limited; reservations are strongly suggested. Please call 845-265-4010 or email. This lecture is free for members and donors, $5 per person for the public.
