Your work on this project fascinates me. Everyone likes to think of Massachusetts as always being anti-slavery, when it absolutely was not. Like much of history, Massachusetts history has been white-washed and we’re taught only the good things.

Thank you, Michelle. It was jarring to me to learn how many enslaved people lived in Hanover in such a short time. Please let me know if you have any questions! Also, I hope you like and maybe share my other stories about Abington and the clandestine gravesite and about Venus Manning.
