Greenidge and Fields, both renowned for their pathbreaking work on abolitionism, the early civil rights movement, family history, popular memory, and the profound impact of slavery in New England, will introduce innovative public scholarship that challenges and expands our understanding of the past. This engaging panel will spark dialogue and offer fresh perspectives on the enduring legacy of Black history in New England. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with groundbreaking historians who are redefining our understanding of the region’s history.
