Preservation Long Island: Behind-the-Scenes @ Joseph Lloyd Manor | Community Quilt Project …
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reinterpreting Joseph Lloyd Manor Join Us Behind-the-Scenes Two Dates Only: February 17th or February 22nd
Your voice is crucial! We are testing out new installations in Joseph Lloyd Manor, one of our historic house sites where Jupiter Hammon (1711–ca. 1806), the first known published African American poet, was enslaved and wrote powerfully about liberty and freedom following the Revolutionary War.
These installations are meant to encourage dialogue and spark creativity, as we shine a light on the history of Joseph Lloyd Manor’s enslaved community. Come experience these new installations and share your thoughts as we work towards presenting a more inclusive and critical account of Long Island’s complicated past.
