**VITRUAL on Zoom**
What did the "Gilded Age" mean to the free,
Black community of the Staatsburg village? Join site staff for a one-hour
conversation exploring that question through census records, historic maps, and
the larger context of race relations during the Gilded Age. Often pushed to the
outskirts of society by White Americans, Black men and women were nonetheless
able to foster a strong community in the face of constant adversity. Long
marginalized in the historical narrative, the free Black community of the
Staatsburg village reveals the triumphs and struggles of generations of African
Americans in the Hudson Valley.
