The Legacy of Slavery in Maryland

  • Date: Tuesday, February 23
  • Time: 7:00 pm
  • Location: Online
  • Host Organization: Historic Annapolis

Christopher Haley will present “The Legacy of Slavery in Maryland,” including references to records and statistics the research program has unearthed since its study began at the Maryland State Archives in 2001. From the day that Mathias de Sousa and Francisco landed in St. Mary’s county aboard the Ark and the Dove in 1634, Black Marylanders have made significant contributions to both the state and nation in the political, economic, agricultural, legal, and domestic arenas. Despite what often seemed like insurmountable odds, Marylanders of Color have adapted, evolved, and prevailed. Join Chris as he shares runaway ads, domestic traffic notices, laws, and comparative reflections on the financial impact of the institution of slavery and Maryland.

Registration is required. Cost is $15 per household for General Admission or $10 per household for HA Members and Volunteers.

Revealing the Presence of the Enslaved

Join historian Willa Banks for a thought-provoking afternoon talk, Revealing the Enslaved Presence at Hammond-Harwood House in the 1800s. Newly discovered evidence has shown that three to five enslaved persons resided at Hammond-Harwood House for a period of time. A discussion of these findings combined with the known experiences of domestic servants in America provides not only an identity to each enslaved individual, but also it offers a glimpse into the demands on their daily lives while serving the owners of this colonial style home.

Registration is required. To make a reservation call: 410-263-4683 x10. This event is free to attend.
