In 2014, Preservation Long Island recognized Ms. Mac Griswold for The Manor: Three Centuries at a Slave Plantation on Long Island, a book that brings to life three centuries of history at Sylvester Manor, one of Long Island’s rare surviving 18th century plantations located on Shelter Island. The subject of a Guggenheim Fellowship award, The Manor provides an opportunity to experience Long Island’s history of slavery through a creative lens, and allows the reader to appreciate the mystery and excitement that can unfold when interacting with historic landscapes and architecture.

Check out our Instagram throughout #BlackHistoryMonth! We’ll be sharing highlights from our Jupiter Hammon Project roundtables. Back in 2020, we invited esteemed scholars and professionals to discuss the life of one of America’s earliest published Black authors, Jupiter Hammon and Long Island's legacy of enslavement through a series of moderated conversations.
The major topics explored were Long Island in the Black Atlantic World, the voice of Jupiter Hammon, and confronting slavery at Joseph Lloyd Manor in Lloyd Harbor, NY. All three roundtable discussions are available for viewing on our website!
Many thanks to Alistair Wright, a senior at Friends Academy in Glen Cove, New York and a Preservation Long Island 2022 Summer Intern, for putting the Instagram posts together! Friends Academy
