Enslaved women represented nearly half of colonial Haiti’s plantation populations and performed much of the same physical labor as their male counterparts. However, few women are identified in archival records as having taken part in the revolutionary struggle. On Wednesday, May 15, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. join Dr. Crystal Nicole Eddins, author of Rituals, Runaways, and the Haitian Revolution: Collective Action in the African Diaspora, to learn about the Haitian Revolution to abolish slavery and create a free and independent Black nation in the Americas. An Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Eddins will draw on African and African diaspora perspectives to shed light on the ways that enslaved women may have contributed to the revolution for freedom and liberation. This virtual event is accessible with a donation of any amount to support Old North Illuminated, the nonprofit that stewards Old North Church. The 2024 Speaker Series is brought to you in part by HUB Town Tours. To register, please visit: https://www.oldnorth.com/events/.
