A Hudson Valley Reckoning: A Conversation About the Forgotten History of Slaveholding in New York
Tuesday, February 11, 2025 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
During this virtual conversation, author Debra Bruno will detail her experience unearthing her own family's connection to an often overlooked and violent part of New York history. When Debra realized that her Dutch ancestors had been some of the most entrenched enslavers during 200 years of slavery in New York, she began the process of telling this story, resulting in a deeply personal and nuanced account of the ways America's complicated history affects us all. During this program, she will be joined in conversation by Leigh Fludd-Smith of the African American Archive of Columbia County. Register.
