Slavery in New York -- Art (History/Science), Art (Museum)
Cost: Included in admission
Until the New-York Historical Society's landmark exhibition, 'Slavery in New York,' opened to acclaim on October 7, 2005, no museum had told the full story of slavery in New York--from its early 17th century roots, through the aftermath of the Civil War. This unprecedented exploration into slavery and its impact on the people, landscape, institutions, and economy of New York City, State, and the nation, attracted record crowds, generated favorable reviews in the media and visits from tens of thousands of teachers and students.
