News and Events

We have many exciting events planned throughout the year. Learn more here!

Land/Mark: A Symposium on Enslavement, Resistance, and the Revolution
Saturday, June 13– 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Cambridge Public Library Lecture Hall (449 Broadway, Cambridge MA)

This event is free and open to the public, registration required. Register here: https://cambridgepl.libcal.com/event/16793265

This symposium explores the story of Mark, Phillis and Phebe, three enslaved people punished in 1755 for fatally poisoning their enslaver, John Codman, in order to break free from slavery. The case was so well known that 40 years later, Paul Revere used the location of Mark’s body as a landmark when describing his famous 1775 ride. How should we remember Mark, Phillis and Phebe? And how can we reclaim stories of Black life, resistance and rebellion?

Event Highlights: Giving a special keynote lecture is Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson, PH.D., author of We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance. Two panels featuring insights from Aabid Allibhai, Jaimie Crumley, Dan Breen, Ifé Franklin, Dell M. Hamilton, Angela M. Counts, Kendra Field, and Kyera Singleton.
