MAINE SPEAKS SERIES -Meadow Dibble | Hiding in Plain Sight: New England's Complicity in Slavery
New England has long suppressed the memory of its involvement in slavery, just as it has concealed or failed to center the stories of the region's free and enslaved Black and Indigenous populations. How could we have gotten the story so wrong for so long? This interactive presentation will contrast the cherished narrative of Northern exceptionalism and innocence with recent scholarship that reveals a long history of exploitation with which our communities have barely begun to reckon.
