SUMMARY:Liberty and Loyalty: Embroidered Coats of Arms in an Age of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:In 1775\, Mary Jones of Weston Massachusetts watched her life collapse around her as her family\, all supporters of the British Crown\, fled their homes and had their immense fortune confiscated during the Revolution. Among what she had left to remember them was a mostly finished needlework sampler displaying the Jones family coat of arms. Years later\, she returned to Massachusetts and settled in Concord\, where this sampler now resides in the collection of the Concord Museum. \nErica Lome\, PhD\, Associate Curator at Historic New England\, uses this needlework as a starting point to survey the history of embroidered coats of arms worked in Boston in the late eighteenth century. More than an accomplishment of a genteel education\, heraldic needlework was created by young women to document their family genealogy\, a practice that endured through war\, exile\, and independence. Join us to hear more stories about needlework\, women\, family\, and legacy in an age of Revolution. \nThis program is being held in-person at the Concord Museum.  Please register using the form below. \n  \nFeatured Image: Needlework by Mary Jones\, 1760-1770.

SUMMARY:American Inheritance: A Conversation with Edward Larson
DESCRIPTION:Pulitzer Prize winning author Edward Larson joins us for a conversation on his new book American Inheritance: Liberty and Slavery in the Birth of a Nation\, 1765-1795\, in which he discusses how liberty and slavery were intertwined during the nation’s founding. \nProfessor Larson examines the role of Black Americans during the Revolutionary War and in the many debates over slavery and freedom\, highlighting the voices of Black Americans as the most persuasive in the urgency of liberty. He explores the fateful compromises over slavery that took place during the Constitutional Convention and their disastrous effects in the coming decades. \n“An authoritative contribution to the dismal history of race in America. … Larson\, author of Franklin & Washington\, A Magnificent Catastrophe and other acclaimed books of American history\, recasts the narrative of the nation’s founding by focusing on vociferous debates about liberty that erupted during three crucial decades of revolutionary fervor. … At a time when rebellious colonists proclaimed their refusal to be enslaved by the British\, most saw no contradiction in buying and selling men\, women\, and children. … Larson’s stirring narrative includes the perspectives of free and escaped slaves\, such as James Somerset\, who was brought to England by his owner\, where he successfully sued for his freedom; poet Phillis Wheatley; and Ona Judge\, dower property of Martha Washington\, whose escape incited George Washington’s desperate\, enraged search for her return.” Kirkus Reviews\, October 20\, 2022 \nThis forum is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund and the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati. \nPlease register using the form below.
