SUMMARY:Yours for the Oppressed\, Harriet Myers - an exhibit celebrating Black Women Activists
DESCRIPTION:Yours for the Oppressed\, Harriet Myers\nCome view the first such exhibit to be installed at The Stephen and Harriet Myers Residence. Yours for the Oppressed\, Harriet Myers features pieces chosen by our museum’s Special Collections curator in honor of Black  Women’s contributions to social justice in America. The exhibition centers around an 1860 letter written by Harriet Myers to white abolitionist John Jay II which is graciously on loan from the John Jay Homestead in Katonah\, NY. \nOther works on display are publications edited and co-written by Harriet and Stephen\, as well as examples of Black abolitionist embroidery\, and artwork highlighting the continuation of the movement. We are excited to share with you not only the life of Harriet Myers\, but how her activist legacy continues to this day\, exemplified by five local Black women: Didi Delgado\, Jamaica Miles\, Leah Pennimen\, Barbara Smith\, and Tabetha Wilson. \nHarriet’s handwritten one-page letter is a treasure trove of information about UGRR activism\, the role of female abolitionists\, and the political climate of the 1860’s in the Capital Region. \nA gem to behold\, following the grand opening this letter will be on display during public visiting hours of 5pm-8pm Mondays-Fridays and 12pm-4pm Saturdays. \nMasks covering nose and mouth will be required when inside The Myers Residence if you have not been fully vaccinated. Disposable masks are available at The Residence. Donations are welcomed in support of this exhibit. Donations can be made at The Myers Residence and online at https://undergroundrailroadhistory.org/donate/ \n\nQuestions? Call 518-621-7793. \nSee you at the exhibit! \n

SUMMARY:People of Courage\, People of Hope\, Seekers of Justice - The Underground Railroad Revisited
DESCRIPTION:The Underground Railroad\, often remembered as being characterized by tunnels\, dark of night escapes\, coded language and hidey-holes\, was far more extensive and complex than these ideas have led us to believe. In the midst of significant pro-slavery sentiment\, New York State was home to many abolitionists working to abolish the institution of enslavement in our state and nation and it was visited by many who had escaped enslavement and sought a life of freedom. Join with the Stewarts as they share a new interpretation of a very old story and explain the various initiatives in which Underground Railroad Education Center is engaged as it works to connect the public with this local history and its relevance for us today. \nPaul and Mary Liz Stewart are independent researchers\, Scholars in Residence at Russell Sage College\, and cofounders of Underground Railroad Education Center. \nAdditional information for this virtual event is available at the Hudson Area Library website.

SUMMARY:FreedomCon 2021 - The New York Kidnapping Club: Wall Street\, Slavery and Resistance on the Eve of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:The Kidnapping Club is a powerful and resonant account of the ties between slavery and capitalism\, corrupt roots of policing in America\, and the unflagging strength of Black activism.\nDr. Wells’ gripping narrative tells the story of the powerful men who kept the illegal slave trade alive and well in New York City long after slavery had been outlawed in the North. The Kidnapping Club was a network of judges\, lawyers\, police officers and bankers who sanctioned the kidnapping of free Black men\, women and children in New York City who were then sold into markets in the southern states\, South America\, and the Caribbean for vast sums of wealth.\n  \n \nJonathan Daniel Wells\, PhD\, is a prize-winning historian whose most recent book\, The Kidnapping Club\, tells of the intersections among Wall Street\, slavery\, and resistance to the illicit slave trade in New York City just before the Civil War. Dr. Wells is professor of history in the Departments of Afro-American and African Studies\, History\, and Director\, Residential College at the University of Michigan. \nBook Information and Reviews can be found at: \nhttps://www.jonathandanielwells.com/the-new-york-kidnapping-club \nhttps://bookpage.com/reviews/25668-jonathan-daniel-wells-kidnapping-club-nonfiction#.YAYZrHZKiM8 \nhttps://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/jonathan-daniel-wells/the-kidnapping-club/?page=2 \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/books/review-kidnapping-club-jonathan-daniel-wells.html
