Guest Lecture: The World(s) the Enslaved Made
September 22 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Hear a fascinating talk by visiting lecturer Dr. Randall Miller about the ever-evolving field of study of American slavery.
A major challenge to historians studying slavery is the lack of written documents from the perspective of enslaved people. This, of course, was the result of deliberate attempts from enslavers to prevent the enslaved from having their stories heard.
However, over the past 50 years especially, the study of slavery has been transformed by findings from archaeology, folklore, linguistics, musicology, and more, and the use of such findings has made the enslaved not only more knowable but also gives them greater voice in their history
In his talk entitled “The World(s) the Enslaved Made,” Dr. Randall Miller will discuss some of the ways the new understandings of the enslaved and their culture might apply to Pennsbury and slavery in William Penn’s day and after.
Advance registration is $8 for adults (12 – 64), $6 for seniors (65+), and $4 for children (3-11).
