A History of Slavery in Lexington and the Implications for Today

Host: Grace Chaple, Worthen Road

Dick Kollen and James DeWolf Perry will present findings from their personal and professional work on the history of slavery in Lexington and New England. Who was Prince Estabrook, and was he a slave or a freeman? What don't we know about details of our colonial past? How does this inform on current state of race relations? Come hear a fascinating topic by two very knowledgeable presenters.

And consider catching one of the "Traces of the Trade" viewings (Apr.5) or "Community Conversations" (Apr.12)--see the full calendar of activities and background at:
