The evening will feature a live panel talk moderated by Darren St. George, Director, Education & Public Programs, Preservation Long Island featuring Jonathan Olly, Curator Long Island Museum, Mark Chambers, Stonybrook University, and Lynda Day, Brooklyn College CUNY. The program will highlight the new publication and discuss ways that historians, museums, and professors are working to make Long Island’s past more accessible. Current approaches to teaching Black history as well as how conversations around Northern (and specifically Long Island) slavery has changed over the last few decades will also be examined.
