SUMMARY:Local History Speakers Series at Hudson Area Library
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson Area Library History Room\, in collaboration with the Jacob Leisler Institute for the Study of Early New York History & the Gotham Center for New York City History\, presents the latest in its Local History talks Thursday\, September 12\, 2019\, 6-7:30pm: 'Slavery and Dutch-Palatine Farmers: How did middle class farmers in Colonial New York interact with slavery?' by Travis M. Bowman. Usually considered a Southern issue\, slavery played a surprisingly large role in colonial and revolutionary era New York. Mr. Bowman will examine how slavery evolved in New York under the Dutch\, British\, and American systems of government and how the institution was utilized at a local and personal level among middle class farmers in the Hudson and Mohawk Valleys. In New York State slavery existed for 200 years and recent interest and research\, particularly focused on the Hudson Valley area\, confronts this reprehensible fact. This lecture is an opportunity to learn how slave labor led to the prosperity of many families in the region and also may have eventually influenced the abolition movement. Travis M. Bowman is the Senior Curator of the New York State Bureau of Historic Sites\, where he is responsible for the research\, care\, and exhibition of the collections at New York State's historic sites and parks. A question and answer period and refreshments follow the talk. For more information email programs@hudsonarealibrary.org\, call 518-828-1792 x101\, or visit the main desk in the library.
