Slavery in my Neighborhood with Howard Husock – RR250 event

Based on his paper in the Westchester Historian, Slavery in My Neighborhood, Howard Husock will discuss the history of slavery in Rye, focusing on which families and landowners benefited–even after New York abolished slavery by 1827. Husock will also explore the extent and economics of slavery, as well as which types of households owned the enslaved, and the majority who did not. Presented by RR250, Rye Historical Society and the Rye Free Reading Room.
