SUMMARY:Explore the "Reflecting Attucks" Virtual Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting Attucks is a virtual exhibit that examines the memory of Crispus Attucks\, a man of African & Native descent who was the first to die in the Boston Massacre\, an event now regarded as the start of the American Revolution. This exhibit is not a biography of Attucks the man. Like many 18th-century figures\, he did not leave behind a long paper trail telling his story in his own words. However\, we have vivid stories of his actions and the time in which he lived. Reflecting Attucks is a story about how Americans turned the memory of Attucks into a powerful symbol of the courage and sacrifice needed to achieve change.

SUMMARY:Today's Struggle for Racial Equality is Embedded in the Past
DESCRIPTION:Slavery is fundamental to the American story. Monticello is simultaneously a place to remember\, a place to mourn\, and a place to inspire change. How can Monticello’s duality – the pain and beauty of one of America’s best-studied and preserved plantations – advance a national dialogue on race? What is the role of cultural monuments and sites in helping Americans learn from the past? Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, moderates a discussion with Melody Barnes\, Jamelle Bouie\, Jon Meacham\, and Bree Newsome.

SUMMARY:Student Publications on Racial Injustice and Social Change
DESCRIPTION:In June 2020\, members of The Yale Historical Review (YHR) founded The 1701 Project\, an initiative on racial injustice and social change. Although unrelated\, we draw inspiration from Nikole Hannah-Jones and her colleagues’ examination of slavery’s legacies in The 1619 Project. The 1701 Project (a nod to the year of Yale’s founding) analyzes our university’s and our nation’s racist histories through an ongoing series of articles\, interviews\, and art. We have extended this conversation beyond New Haven\, partnering with publications from other institutions across the country. This coalition\, titled Of Many Strands (the name borrowed from the epilogue of Ralph Ellison’s The Invisible Man)\, has to create a central online repository for our journals. The 1701 Project and Of Many Strands seek to foster dialogue about our history in order to change our society today.

SUMMARY:The 9th Annual Freedom Seder Revisited: Stories Through the Years
DESCRIPTION:This annual event is inspired by the original 1969 Freedom Seder\, where hundreds of people of all backgrounds gathered to explore and celebrate freedom in the context of the Civil Rights Movement on the third night of Passover and the one-year anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination. \nTypically an in-person event at the Museum on Independence Mall for 300 participants of all faiths\, races\, and beliefs\, the tradition continues virtually in 2021 with the re-airing of a beautiful selection of stories and performances presented at this signature NMAJH event since its inception in 2013\, interspersed with live commentary. Each story offers a unique perspective on the meaning of freedom in America today.

SUMMARY:Slavery\, Wealth Creation\, and Intergenerational Wealth in Boston
DESCRIPTION:From the 17th century to the 21st\, enslavement—even when it took place outside of Massachusetts—shaped the province and the state in significant ways. It was and has been central to creating wealth: family fortunes\, institutional endowments\, and public budgets in Massachusetts have benefited from its spoils. This panel explores the Commonweath’s connections to slavery and the trade of enslaved people\, the wealth—and the poverty—enslavement created and bequeathed\, and how the legacies of enslavement are reflected in injustices that haunt Massachusetts to this day. \nThis five-part series was developed by the Northeastern University School of Law Criminal Justice Task Force. It is hosted by the Massachusetts Historical Society and sponsored by a number of Boston-area organizations.
