Hampton Historic Site: Tracing Lives in Slavery Lecture
Living in the Post-Plantation 11/8 at 2 PM on Zoom
Hampton National Historic Site's Lecture Series, Tracing Lives in Slavery, offers a presentation by Dr. Samuel Collins, Professor of Anthropology and Director of Cultural Studies at Towson University. Titled Living in the Post-Plantation: Hampton Historical Mansion in Context of Baltimore County Development, the presentation looks to the legacies of Hampton Plantation for life in Baltimore today. Decisions about development, zoning and education made during Hampton's time as a plantation still have a profound influence on life in Baltimore County.

Join us tomorrow for MEMS' first Lunch and Learn!
Musical Instruments of the Renaissance on Zoom
OCTOBER
28 12:15-12:45 Mini-MEMS Lunch and Learn:
Want to hear a
racket? Come learn about musical instruments of the Renaissance! (Yes, a racket
IS an instrument!) Dr. Lindsay Johnson will demo a variety of
Renaissance wind instruments, from the racket (an early bass double reed) to
the crumhorn (sounds like a glorified kazoo!) to the shawm (an early oboe) to
the recorder (so much better than what you learned in 3rd grade!). Come hear
what these instruments sound like, see how they work, and laugh at
Dr. Johnson's attempts to play them (she's actually a violinist).
Curiosity encouraged.

African American Women and Voting Rights
Maryland Center for History and Culture Presents: October 1, 2020 - 4pm to 5pmVanguard: How African American Women Led the Movement for Voting Rights
Please join us for this alternative offering of our traditional Francis Scott Key Lecture Series.
FSK FROM HOME
Presented by Martha S. Jones, PhD
Today, African American women are an organized and consequential facet of our body politic. How did they get here? To understand their story is to understand the politics of our own time, setting aside old narratives and learning about the future through black women’s ongoing quest for rights. Vanguard, a new book by Martha S. Jones, tells how they built their movement, which was plagued by ridicule and resistance, and extended to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Dr. Martha S. Jones is a Society of Black Alumni Presidential Professor and Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University. She is a writer, commentator, researcher, and historian whose work is permeated by the intersections of race, gender, law, and history. Martha’s most recent book, Vanguard. How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All is a new history of African American women’s political lives in America.
This virtual program is free and open to all audiences. Registration is required. After registering for the program, attendees will receive an automated confirmation email with connection instructions.
A Day in the Life of a Teenage Samurai
Watch Party and Q&A
Constantine Vaporis, Professor of History and Affiliate Professor of Asian Studies, partnered with TED-Ed Animations to produce
A Day In The Life of A Teenage Samurai. This original video draws from over thirty years of scholarship Vaporis has completed on Japanese history and culture.
The video is set in Kôchi, Japan in 1800. It is a brief window into the fictional life of 16-year-old Mori Banshirô, a samurai in training who aspires to be an artist. Banshirô’s journey takes place during the Edo period (1603 – 1868), which is the focus of Vaporis’s research.
A q&a with Dr. Vaporis will immediately follow the viewing.
Sponsored by the Department of History, the Asian Studies Program, the Dresher Center for the Humanities, the Department of Visual Arts, and the History Student Council.

Dr. Kars publishes new book on Berbice Slave Rebellion
A Chronicle of Mutiny and Freedom on the Wild Coast
A breathtakingly original work of history that uncovers a massive enslaved persons’ revolt that almost changed the face of the Americas
“As the rebellion lighted from one plantation to another, colonists panicked. Instead of rallying to the colony’s defense, they acted to save themselves. Rather than protecting their plantations, they hurriedly readied themselves to abandon them.”
—from Blood on the River
On Sunday, February 27, 1763, thousands of slaves in the Dutch colony of Berbice—in present-day Guyana—launched a massive rebellion that came amazingly close to succeeding. Surrounded by jungle and savannah, the revolutionaries (many of them African-born) and Europeans struck and parried for an entire year. In the end, the Dutch prevailed because of one unique advantage—their ability to get soldiers and supplies from neighboring colonies and from Europe. Blood on the River is the explosive story of this little-known revolution, one that almost changed the face of the Americas.
Drawing on nine hundred interrogation transcripts collected by the Dutch when the Berbice rebellion finally collapsed, and which were subsequently buried in Dutch archives, historian Marjoleine Kars reconstructs an extraordinarily rich day-by-day account of this pivotal event. Blood on the River provides a rare in-depth look at the political vision of enslaved people at the dawn of the Age of Revolution and introduces us to a set of real characters, vividly drawn against the exotic tableau of a riverine world of plantations, rainforest, and Carib allies who controlled a vast South American hinterland.
An astonishing original work of history, Blood on the River will change our understanding of revolutions, slavery, and of the story of freedom in the New World.
