SUMMARY:History Studio: Author Talk with Jane Sciacca
DESCRIPTION:  \nEnslavement in the Puritan Village: The Untold Story of Sudbury and Wayland\, Massachusetts \nWednesday\, February 19 from 7:00-8:30PM on Zoom \n\nA History Studio featuring author\, public historian\, and Wayland resident Jane Sciacca\n\n \nColonial Sudbury\, Massachusetts\, was designated the Puritan Village by author Sumner Chilton Powell in his 1964 Pulitzer Prize–winning history of the founding of this quintessential New England town in 1638. Yet this quiet rural village also had a darker history that is often overlooked. Sudbury’s Puritan inhabitants\, including some of the most prominent citizens in town\, held and sold enslaved Black people throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Stories gleaned from preserved records highlight the lives of men\, women and children held in bondage\, including a court case involving an enslaved boy repeatedly beaten and left scarred by his master less than thirty years after the town’s founding\, as well as the bill of sale of Phebey\, age two\, to a woman in another town. Local author Jane Sciacca uncovers the hidden side of suffering in this New England town.\n\n \nRegistration is free. REGISTER HERE! \nWe will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the conversation. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive. This History Studio will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel. Questions? Email commons@masshistoryalliance.org \n\nConversations on the Commons Where people from Massachusetts history organizations get to vent\, empathize\, laugh\, complain\, think\, collaborate\, brainstorm\, plan\, and in general be up to no good.

SUMMARY:Conversations on the Commons: Reality Check: How Much Funding Is at Risk for MA History Organizations?
DESCRIPTION:Reality Check: How Much Funding Is at Risk for Massachusetts History Organizations? \nFriday\, February 28th from 12-1:30pm on Zoom \n\nA Conversation on the Commons that will break down exactly how federal funding changes will impact history organizations in Massachusetts. Featuring David Slatery of Mass Cultural Council\, Katherine Stevens of Mass Humanities\, and Elizabeth O’Connell of the Massachusetts Archives.\n\n \nFederal funding is in great turmoil at the moment. Join us in breaking down what funding and projects stand to be affected in the realm of public history in Massachusetts. Which sources in Massachusetts are connected to federal funding\, which are part of the state budget\, and which are a little of both? What funding is private? How can your organization find out the funding sources for particular grants and initiatives? Part 2\, coming this fall\, will consider how we should respond and advocate.\n\n \nRegistration is free. REGISTER HERE! \nWe will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the conversation.
