Nestled in the U-shape of the elbow that lends its name to the Crum Elbow Creek, New Guinea (from the West African region "Guinea") was one of countless Free Black communities that emerged across the northern United States. Home to around 100 people at its peak in the 1820s, its residents were largely Black, but included people of mixed heritage including Native people and Whites. A central road, aptly named Fredonia Lane, remains in use today.
Presented via Zoom, this 50-minute talk by Bill Jeffway, Executive Director of the Dutchess County Historical Society, will introduce the self-emancipated and formerly-enslaved residents of New Guinea from the Hudson Valley, the southern United States, even as far as Brazil! "Bright Spark in Freedom's Pursuit" will highlight the Black men, women, and children at one time working in the estates of the nation's most elite doctors, lawyers, and merchants, underscoring both great inequalities such as wealth and great equalizers such as pandemics.
