Presented by the Museum Association of New York

The Northern Slavery Collective (NorSC) is a group of museum professionals and academics dedicated to researching and interpreting the history of enslaved people and the practice of enslavement in the Northern United States. A panel of professionals will discuss the challenges that member institutions faced in their journey to create a more inclusive narrative and how they have worked creatively to overcome them. The virtual panel will begin with a brief introduction to NorSC and each panelist’s institutions and then move into a question and answer session.

Panelists:

• Meredith Sorin Horsford, Executive Director, Historic House Trust of New York City

• Donnamarie Barnes, Director of History & Heritage, Sylvestor Manor

• Peter Bunten, Executive Director, Mid-Hudson Antislavery History Project

• Heather Lodge, Associate Director of School and Youth Programs, Greenwich Historical Society
