SUMMARY:Interpreting African American History: Q & A with Richard M. Josey
DESCRIPTION:First-person interpretation can help the past come alive\, but it can be a heavy responsibility—especially when sharing difficult history. Portraying an enslaved person can be especially challenging\, both professionally and personally. Richard M. Josey discusses his years as a first-person interpreter\, the lessons he learned\, and how he now shares those lessons as a consultant for museums and historical organizations.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Juneteenth: A Story of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, Jun. 16\, 7 p.m. via Zoom\nPresenters: Earl Ijames\, Curator of African American\, Agriculture\, and Community History\, North Carolina Museum of History; Chrystal Regan\, Education Section Chief\, North Carolina Museum of History \nJuneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day in 1865 (June 19th) when federal troops arrived in Galveston\, Texas\, to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people were freed—a full two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed and more than two months after America’s Civil War “officially” ended. Juneteenth—a celebration that spread the word about the passage of the 13th Amendment\, which outlawed slavery in the United States—is an important milestone in the fight for equality and provides an opportunity for us all to pause and consider the meaning of freedom and to rededicate ourselves to telling stories that reflect all members of our community. \nPlease join Ijames and Regan in an insightful conversation to examine the history behind this holiday and reveal why its celebration is more important now than ever. They will also explore North Carolina’s special connections to the historic event and share details about Raleigh’s inaugural Juneteenth Celebration.
