"Sylvester Manor Educational Farm, cohosting with Eastville Community Historical Society, presents the 5th Annual Black History Month Celebration. This year’s program will explore the history of slavery on the East End of Long Island and the omission of that history from the founding narrative of the United States.
The program will consist of visual presentations and a panel of speakers involved in projects to bring the stories, histories and lives of the early enslaved African people who lived, worked and died on the Eastern End of Long Island to light. Their names and facts of their lives can be found in documents and archives and by asking simple questions, how many slaves lived here, what did they do, where did they go, where are they buried. We can change the way our community and its archive keepers think about the past. Reception to follow." - Sylvester Manor Educational Farm
