SUMMARY:Black Landowners of The Bronx in the early 1800s (registration required)
DESCRIPTION:This talk by historian Keith Doherty will focus on a number of early farms and other properties in The Bronx that were owned by free Black men during the era of Gradual Emancipation\, when slavery was slowly being abolished in New York (1799-1827).  Though several Black-owned farms existed in the rural environs of the city at the time\, nearly all have been forgotten by history.  This talk is an attempt to shed light on a long-buried chapter in our local history when Black men–many of whom had been enslaved in their youth–rose to become successful businessmen. \nThe presentation with take place at RSS (2600 Netherland Ave) on Tuesday February 11th at 4:30 PM.  Join us in person or on Zoom (link will be sent to you after you register).  Register here: https://bit.ly/blackownedfarmsinthe1800s \nThe Kingsbridge Historical Society’s programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
