Bacon's Rebellion, and the Indigenous and Transatlantic Slave Trades
Central Library - Rasmussen North
Central Library
Rasmussen NorthWhen a prominent genealogist said the Indigenous American slave trade did not happen, Mary Hoyer felt compelled to find primary sources documenting its role in Bacon's Rebellion of 1676, and how it laid the foundation for the expansion of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Come and find out how an almost erased history can be found and where to look. Hoyer shares the journey of peeling back the layers with an extensive syllabus of sources, repositories, and scholars, as well as the process that uncovered this untold story.
This program is recorded, and is available for two weeks. Light refreshments are available.
