SUMMARY:The Ashokan Center: In Defiance – Resistance and the Persistence of Racism in American History
DESCRIPTION:To be in bondage\, to be owned by another human being\, to be subjected to another person's total will   that was the essence of slavery. The natural "fight or flight" instinct in every human being dominated the minds of all those who were treated as property.\n\n\n\nJoin local historian and author Susan Stessin-Cohn (NY) and educator Albert Cook (NY) for a timely and eye-opening presentation and Q & A. Stessin-Cohn will speak on her book\, "In Defiance: Runaways From Slavery in New York's Hudson River Valley 1735-1831." Humanizing an otherwise largely silent population\, advertisements for fugitive slaves provide an exceptionally valuable window into black life in Early America from the nature of the slave system and the master-slave relationship to fascinating glimpses into material culture and folk life. Learn an often missing chapter of our local history and its implications for greater awareness and potential reconciliation in today's world.
