BOSTON – Starting in the 1780s, many northern states either abolished slavery (in the case of Massachusetts) or promised enslaved people their gradual emancipation. While coercion continued to define the lives of free people of color, the end of slavery offered more opportunities for them to explore their faith. On Thursday, Oct. 19, from 7 to 8 p.m., join Old North Illuminated’s former research fellow Dr. Jaimie Crumley on Zoom to learn how the dynamic between women of African descent and Episcopal Churches in the urban North shifted after the American Revolution. The discussion will explore how some women of color in the urban North participated in the Episcopal Church during the nineteenth century. The virtual event is accessible with a donation of any amount to support Old North Illuminated’s virtual and on-site programs, which aim to inspire children and adults alike to consider the ways in which they can build a more just and equitable world.
