Discussion | Black Resistance & Slavery in New York

Saturday, July 15, 2023, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm

Free

In commemoration of New York State’s Abolition Day, hear a discussion tracing the history of slavery from the Dutch period of New Amsterdam to the present period. Speakers will look at how geography, religion, the black church, African American abolitionists, and their desire for independence led to the July 4, 1827 manumission of slavery in New York State.

Vlogger @theAncestorsSpeaKs will contextualize this history, relating it to the struggles within the Lower East Side along with the film screening The Sun Rises in the East. The film’s director Tayo Giwa and educator Basir Mchawi will discuss events leading up to the Ocean Hill/Brownsville School Boycott for community control of public education and the aftermath of the boycott.
