The Windham Historical Society is happy to announce that they will be hosting a fascinating program on “Enslavement in Maine in the 17th and 18th Centuries” presented by Vana Carmona on July 18 at 7 p.m. at the Little Meeting House on Route 302 in North Windham. Vana began studying the topic of slavery after discovering that several of her ancestral New England family members had enslaved people of color and were complicit with the slave trade itself. She knew she was descended from a number of early New England settlers, but was surprised to uncover the role they played in enslaving kidnapped Africans. This is a unique look at New England history that you may not have known about before. The program is offered free of charge, but donations to the Society are always welcome. Refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there.
