400 Years of Resilience

1619 - 2019: 400 YEARS OF RESILIENCE

REFLECTING ON THE INCEPTION AND EFFECTS OF SLAVERY IN AMERICA*

In 2019, the nation marks 400 years since the institutionalization of slavery in colonial America. A group of faculty, staff and students at 久久国产精品久久 have organized a fall series of events to commemorate that milestone. The campus and greater community are invited to reflect on the existence and impacts of slavery – and to celebrate the resilience of African Americans, particularly those living in the State of Maryland. In particular, the achievements of the Eastern Shore’s own Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass will be highlighted.
