Free; all ages
Do you have questions about slavery? Learn about the daily lives of enslaved people in New York City. Families will discover what they may have worn, where they would have traveled, who they would have seen, and what they would have been forced to endure right here in New York. After expanding your knowledge with Living History coordinator Cheyney McKnight, engage in a conversation about how the legacy of slavery continues to impact America, especially the lives and freedoms of Black Americans today.
New-York Historical is temporarily closed indoors during this outbreak of COVID-19. (Our free, outdoor exhibition Hope Wanted: New York City Under Quarantine is open now.) Your support is vital for our ability to continue serving the public. Please consider making a contribution to help fund all facets of our mission. DONATE HERE
