Join us for an evening exploring the lives of the men, women, and children enslaved by the first two generations of the Stockton family at Morven. Historian Sharece Blakney will join in conversation with Historian Dr. Linda Caldwell Epps to share stories uncovered through her research, and to offer historical context for the experiences of enslaved people in eighteenth and nineteenth century New Jersey. 

This event is hybrid - held both live and online. Doors open for the in-person event at 6:00 p.m. in the Stockton Education Center. The virtual waiting room opens on Zoom at 6:00 p.m. Q&A for both live and virtual attendees will follow the talk. 

A Zoom webinar link will be shared with virtual ticket holders upon registration. A recording of the event will be provided.
