Slaves to All Intents and Purposes: Slavery in Colonial New York
Tuesday, October 1, 6:00PM
Presented By: Historian Ryan Jones
Before New York became a leader in the fight against slavery, it was built on the very institution it would one day attempt to bring down. “Slaves to All Intents and Purposes: Slavery in Colonial New York, 1609-1712,” tells just the beginning of the story of slavery in New York. It will explain the development of the system of slavery under the Dutch, the transformation of the slave system under the English and set the stage for the first slave rebellion in New York in 1712.
About The Presenter:
Ryan Jones, Education Coordinator at Hanford Mills Museum in East Meredith, is a historian and documentary filmmaker. He holds Masters Degrees in both History and Public History. Prior to arriving at Hanford Mills, he worked at James Madison’s Montpelier in Virginia where he created a digital series about the behind-the-scenes operations of a historic house museum and a mini-documentary series about the public and intellectual life of James Madison. His research interests include slavery, abolitionism and the Underground Railroad in New York, early American political and intellectual history, political economy and industrial development and the social dimensions of war.
Show & Tell Book Club
Meets Monthly
Last Thursday, 5:30-7:00pm
A no pressure book club where you get to choose!
Are you interested in joining a book club, but aren’t sure you would be interested in the selected titles? At the HML Show and Tell Book Club, you get to choose what you read! Each month we’ll pick a theme, you’ll choose a book fitting that theme, and at our meetings we’ll discuss what we read!
What if I don’t finish the book?
That’s ok! Even if you haven’t finished reading your chosen book you can still come to the meeting and discuss what you’ve read so far!
Can I talk about a book I’ve read previously if it fits the theme?
Oh course! We want to hear all about what you’ve read, it doesn’t matter when you read it!
Do I have to talk about what I’ve read?
If you would feel more comfortable just sitting back and listen to what others have to say about their books that’s completely fine!
Upcoming Themes:
June- Kindness
July- Summer

HML Writers Group
Saturdays from July 6th to 27th
1:30-3:30
The goal for HML Writers Group is to help writers be comfortable with themselves, with their own styles and their own needs. We’re not all novelists, or poets, or short story writers. We’re not all speed writers; trying to go-go-go on a prompt for ten minutes isn’t everybody’s writing style. And that’s all right. Writers bring what they’re working on to read out loud, or pass out copies for critique. More often than not, most of the meeting time is devoted to the act of writing, with timers set and prompts given as a springboard for a story or poem to take flight.
