Confronting & Interpreting Long Island’s Legacy of Enslavement,
March 14 During the colonial period, approximately 20% of Long Island’s population was enslaved. People of African and Indigenous descent performed vital work, significantly contributing to the region’s growth and development. Yet many Long Islanders are unaware of this history and its continuing impacts. In a 2020 statement, Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III urged museums to “embrace their role as institutions…that help the public grapple with who they once were [and] provide tools to help the public better understand the world they face today…” Join us for a panel exploring different methods for interpreting, presenting, and engaging communities in discussion about enslavement and its legacies on Long Island.
