SUMMARY:Black Girls and Their Needlework in Early America
DESCRIPTION:11th Annual Sally Lanagan Lecture\n \nDr. Kelli Racine Barnes joins us to discuss the lives and experiences of Black girls during the late 1700s and early 1800s in the northeastern United States by examining the needlework they created.  By using material culture as primary evidence\, the needlework provides valuable clues about the lives of these Black girls in northern cities during the antebellum period.  Dr. Barnes highlights the importance of centering Black girls as historical subjects to better understand American history\, the history of education in the United States\, the history of sampler-making\, and the world history of embroidery. \nThis forum is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund. \nFree Member | $10 Non-Member | Free Virtual \nPlease register using the form below.

SUMMARY:The Sewing Girl’s Tale: A Conversation with John Sweet
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the 2023 Bancroft Prize in American History\, John Sweet joins us to discuss his new book The Sewing Girl’s Tale: A Story of Crime and Consequences in Revolutionary America.  On a moonless night in the summer of 1793\, a crime was committed in the back room of a New York brothel\, and seventeen-year-old seamstress Lanah Sawyer did what virtually no one in US history had done before: she charged a gentleman with rape. Based on rigorous historical detective work\, Professor Sweet shows how our laws and our culture were changed by a persistent young woman and the power of words 200 years ago. \nFree Member | $10 Non-Member | Free Virtual \nChurchill and Janet Franklin Lyceum and Livestreamed \nPlease register using the form below.

SUMMARY:Object Spotlight Talk: Silk Shoe in the April 19th gallery
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a fancy silk and wool shoe connects to the important role women played in boycotting goods from England during the American Revolution. In the 18th century\, American milliners often imported fancy English shoes for sale to their customers\, but unpopular tax laws from the British government led colonists to protest by refusing to purchase items imported from England\, including textiles. Women pressured their families and communities to only buy goods made in the Americas\, and organized spinning bees to make yarn that was turned into clothes known as “homespun.” This spotlight talk highlights the involvement of women in boycotting campaigns\, and how this enabled them to express political views and support for the Patriot cause. \n\n\n\nAbout Object Spotlight Talks: During these brief talks\, Museum Interpreter showcase a fascinating story behind an item in the Concord Museum collections. \n\n\n\nTalks will take place in the April 19th gallery at 11:00-11:30 amFree with Museum admission | Members visit free. \n\n\n\nSilk Shoe\, London\, 1790.
