2023 Lecture in the History of Slavery - Professor Brenda Stevenson: 'Slavery, family and resistance' This event has taken place, but you can watch a recording at the link below. Enslaved Black people performed an endless assault on their personal enslavement and that of their most cherished marker of identity, their families. Regardless of the tactics taken up, tactics that ran the gamut from the individual acts of poison, arson, and escape, to group revolt and mass marronage, the enslaved family (in thought, method, and often actual deed) was the essential site of context. This lecture engages the intersection of enslavement, family, and Black resistance at the time of the American Revolution and beyond. Please register (free) at the Eventbrite.
