Historical Black Communities and George Washington’s Cambridge Camp
Please register here.
From 1775-1776, 105 Brattle Street in Cambridge became General George Washington’s first major headquarters of the Revolution. Join Emily Levine of Longfellow House-Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site for a discussion of how free and enslaved Black members of Washington’s war camp interacted with one another, members of the local community and Washington himself. Longfellow House’s history is well-documented and provides a lens into intersections of the Black experience in Revolutionary America.
