Join our colleagues at Adirondack Architectural Heritage for a conversation on Zoom with author Dr. Alice P. Green about her recent book, Outsider: Stories of Growing Up Black in the Adirondacks. 

Outsider details her experiences as her family grappled with poverty, race, and acceptance in the mid-20th-century Champlain Valley. Dr. Green’s book chronicles her experiences growing up in Essex County after her father started working at Republic Steel’s Witherbee-Sherman iron ore mines as part of the Great Migration. While Dr. Green’s family was one of only two Black families in the hamlet of Witherbee, the nearby community of Port Henry had a thriving Black community centered on Elizabeth Street.
