SUMMARY:Girl in Black and White: The Story of Mary Mildred Williams and the Abolition Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with author Jessie Morgan-Owens\, as she discusses her book Girl in Black And White: The Story of Mary Mildred Williams and the Abolition Movement—the story of Mary Mildred Williams\, an enslaved girl who looked “white\,” is little-known\, but her photograph transformed the abolitionist movement. \n  \nWhen a decades-long court battle resulted in her family’s freedom in 1855\, seven-year-old Mary Mildred Williams unexpectedly became the face of American slavery. During a sold-out abolitionist lecture series\, Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner paraded Mary in front of rapt audiences as evidence that slavery knew no bounds. \nJessie Morgan-Owens is the dean of studies at Bard Early College in New Orleans\, Louisiana. A photographer with the team Morgan & Owens\, she received her doctorate from New York University\, writing a dissertation on nineteenth-century American anti-slavery literature and early photography.  The culmination of Girl in Black and White came from years of archival research through grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Antiquarian Society\, and from the Newhouse Center for the Humanities at Wellesley College.  These explorations took her through archives\, courthouses\, interviews\, and the Concord Museum collection uncovering all she could of Mary Mildred Williams’ untold story. \nMembers free\, Nonmembers $5.  Books available for purchasing and signing in partnership with the Concord Bookshop. \nTo register\, fill out the form below.
