Last Chance to Visit the Black Experiences in Saratoga County Exhibit

November 6, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

If you have not yet visited the Black Experiences in Saratoga County Exhibit 1750-1950 exhibit, your last chance to visit is Sunday, November 6th.

This exhibit was developed to explore the diversity of the lives of Black Americans in Saratoga County over 200 years of our history from the colonial period to the mid-20th century. It is a chronological panorama of the struggles and hardships they faced, but also of their persistence and success. These episodes are examples from the annals of our history of the complexity of the lives lived by these Americans. It is not comprehensive, but rather snapshots of experiences shared by many people of color, designed to help us all better understand an important aspect of our complex American story. The exhibit includes artifacts, documents, and images on display to compliment the story as it unfolds on the wall panels. Added to this exhibit is the prestigious Scripter Award, awarded by the University of Southern California in the name of Solomon Northup.
