SUMMARY:Confronting Racial Injustice: Slavery\, Wealth Creation\, and Intergenerational Wealth
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.

SUMMARY:Collected: Black Feminism Re-rooted Podcast
DESCRIPTION:Collected is a project of the African American History Curatorial Collective at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Centering stories curated by the Collective’s members\, this podcast offers compelling and accessible journeys through topics in African American history that are particularly relevant today. \nThe topic for the first season of Collected is Black Feminism.

Hosted by Dr. Crystal Moten and Dr. Krystal Klingenberg\, the show highlights why Black feminist critique remains crucial to understanding the times we are living in and how we might look to the past for an understanding of our future.

SUMMARY:In 1868\, Black suffrage was on the ballot
DESCRIPTION:Every election season in the United States revolves around a set of issues—health care\, foreign affairs\, the economy. In 1868\, at the height of the Reconstruction\, the pressing issue was Black male suffrage. When voters went to the polls that November\, they were asked to decide if and how their nation’s democracy should change to include Black men\, millions of whom were newly freed from slavery. It was up to voters to decide: should Black men be granted the right to vote?

SUMMARY:THE SANDERS-BULLITT FAMILY PAPERS
DESCRIPTION:A reworking of the Bullitt family papers to highlight the people enslaved by the Bullitt family on the Oxmoor plantation and the Cottonwood plantation from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century.

While not all people enslaved by the Bullitt family were tied by blood to the Sanders family\, the digitization and exhibition of these sources aim to recognize all of the people and families enslaved by the Bullitt family and bring academic attention to the complex community they fostered among each other while in bondage. This digital collection only represents a small\, selective portion of the Bullitt Family Papers\, and you can access the finding aid for the entire collection here: https://filsonhistorical.org/research-doc/bullittfamilyoxmoor-html/.

SUMMARY:Why Juneteenth? Remembrance and Reflection
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth also known as Freedom Day and Emancipation Day\, is Friday\, June 19\, a holiday that is arguably as important to our nation as the Fourth of July\, since it commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved people of Texas\, then the most remote region of the Confederacy\, finally learned slavery had been abolished and that they were free. \n\n\n\nThe Center for Lincoln Studies at the University of Illinois will be hosting a panel discussion that addresses the big questions: \n\n\n\nWhat is Juneteenth? Why should we remember it? How was it celebrated in the past? How is it celebrated now? \n\n\n\nJoin us as we remember and reflect Juneteenth\, in honor of one of the final acts of emancipation of slaves in the U.S. \n\n\n\nAfter the program we will have a question and answer session with our panelists. \n\n\n\nPanelists:Ken Page\, President of the ACLU Illinois Springfield Chapter and former president of the Springfield NAACP chapterCherena Douglass\, fundraising chair for the Faith Coalition for the Common Good.Dr. Tiffani Saunders\, Instructor of Sociology and African American Studies at the University of Illinois at Springfield. \n\n\n\nKathryn Harris\, first African American and first woman to serve as the President of the Abraham Lincoln Association and currently serves on the ALPLM Board.  \n\n\n\nJune 17th\, 12pm
