Discover the vast Black history of Saratoga Springs and the greater Capital Region with historian Field Horne and researchers Paul and Mary Liz Stewart, cofounders of Underground Railroad History Project in Albany. Field Horne will share his new book, A Field Guide to Saratoga Black Heritage, which uncovers and honors the Black community’s contributions to Saratoga County. From a personal research project to a driving force for economic development, the Stewart’s journey—from a historic house to the Interpretive Center of the Underground Railroad Education Center—bridges the past with its lasting legacy, connecting history to today’s justice issues. Engage with this remarkable transformation.

Refreshments will be served and copies of the book will be available.
