They Resisted Too: Black Women and Their Fight for Freedom from Enslavement to Present Lecture

Join the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, in collaboration with the Havre de Grace Colored School Museum and Cultural Foundation, during Black History Month for the “Reclaiming the Narrative” lecture series. This series will examine African American history as a narrative and focus on aspects that are often misrepresented, ignored, or omitted from United States history. There will also be a children’s class on the Underground Railroad. Admission to the lecture series is free to the public.

Black women have been fighting since their bodies first touched the soul of America. This lecture will highlight the important role that Black enslaved women played in their quest for freedom as they fought against oppression.

Presented by: Phillip Harris, Museum Docent and Historian at The Havre de Grace Colored School Museum and Cultural Center
