Building Home: A Look at the Free Black Communities of Fairfield County

In this lecture, historians Teresa Vega, local genealogist and family historian, and Maisa Tisdale President and CEO at The Mary & Eliza Freeman Center, will tell us about two free Black communities in Fairfield Country, CT. Originating during time of slavery, Hangroot and Little Liberia outlasted the institution that once bound their residents and created important networks of family and fellowship within the region.

This Program is done in Collaboration between the Greenwich Historical Society and NorSC (The Northern Slavery Collective). Hosted on Zoom. Admission is free.
