SUMMARY:Freedom and Unfreedom in Essex County: Suing Their Enslavers\, 18th century Freedom-Seekers in Andover
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Andover independent historian Chris Boehmer\nSunday\, November 24 ~ 1:30-3:00pm \nNot all Native Americans in Massachusetts were invited to celebrate the harvest with English colonists. Some were enslaved by the colonists. In Andover in the 17th and 18th centuries\, wealthy white families commonly enslaved one or more Africans or Native Americans. \nIn this first of a new series of talks\, historian Chris Boehmer will share the inspiring stories of siblings Peter Almonach Bridges and Kate Phelps\, born in Andover to an enslaved African and Native American couple. In the 1760s Peter and Kate took their enslaver\, Moody Bridges\, to court and won their freedom. \nThe lecture is an in-person presentation. However\, all registrants will receive an email the day before the event with a ZOOM option for participation. With this type of ZOOM presentation you will be able to ask questions or make comments in the chat room only. Your questions will be answered live on the ZOOM video after the lecturer has finished the presentation. \n  \nEvent Website: https://andoverhistoryandculture.org/revolution-250
