SUMMARY:Mill Talk: Plantation Goods — A Material History of American Slavery
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Seth Rockman\, George L. Littlefield Professor of American History at Brown University\, tells the biggest stories of early American history through the most mundane artifacts: shoes manufactured in Massachusetts for the use of enslaved people in Mississippi\, for example\, or woolen dresses stitched in Rhode Island for enslaved women in South Carolina to wear. In following these goods from the communities in which they were made to the communities in which they were used\, Rockman rethinks the geography of slavery and freedom in the decades between American independence and the Civil War. He poses questions that continue to preoccupy us in the age of the iPhone and fair-trade coffee: what are the moral\, ecological\, and political relationships linking consumers and producers across long distances? What does it mean to be “complicit”? \nFree to the pubic\, but registration required.

SUMMARY:Mill Talk: And the Cabots talk only to God — Francis Cabot Lowell’s Cabot side
DESCRIPTION:Discover the story of the Cabot family\, whose legacy of wealth and influence shaped Massachusetts from the colonial era through the dawn of industry\, even inspiring the name of Francis Cabot Lowell. From their roots in Salem to their ventures in maritime commerce\, the Cabots built a network of enterprise that extended across New England and beyond. Their establishment of the Cabot Cotton Mill in Beverly — the first in America — marked a turning point in the region’s industrial future. This talk explores how the Cabots’ ambition and power helped define Boston’s so-called “codfish aristocracy” and left an enduring mark on the economic and social identity of Massachusetts. \nPresented by Krystina Yeager\, Education Manager\, Historic Beverly. \nFree to the pubic\, but registration required.
