SUMMARY:Black History of Maine with Bob Greene
DESCRIPTION:  \nPre-registration required to receive Zoom Link:  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/black-history-of-maine-with-bob-greene-tickets-256856654167 \nIt is frequently said that Maine is the whitest state in America. Yet Black people have a long history in the Pine Tree State. Slaves? Yes. But also builders\, farmers\, fishermen\, ship captains\, educators\, etc. It’s that hidden history of our state that Bob Greene will reveal. \n\n\nA native of Portland\, Bob Greene is the eighth generation of his family to be born in Cumberland County. His roots in Maine stretch back into the 1700s. After graduating from Portland High\, Bob went off to college and a career as a journalist\, covering among other things airplane crashes\, Mississippi River floods and the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He has met three presidents: Harry Truman\, Lyndon Baines Johnson and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. And\, as The Associated Press Tennis Writer\, Bob traveled the world covering the sport. After retiring he returned home to Maine where his genealogical research has led to his deep knowledge about Maine’s Black history. He currently teaches a Black History of Maine course at OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute} at the University of Southern Maine. Bob also is the 2021 recipient of the Maine Historical Society’s Neal Allen Award\, which is presented each year for exceptional contributions to Maine History.

SUMMARY:Where There’s a Will\, There’s a Way: Uncovering the Life of Quash\, a Black Man in Eighteenth-Century Lincoln County
DESCRIPTION:Pre-registration required to receive Zoom Link \nIn the spring of 2020\, while working on a genealogy project in the history of a local white family in Lincoln County\, Maine\, independent researcher James Tanzer came across a digital copy of the will of a formerly enslaved Black man named Quash\, who lived in Topsham\, Maine during the eighteenth century. \nEager to learn more about Quash\, but unable to find any mention of him in local history books\, James decided to research Quash’s life himself. Thus began a months-long project in local history to uncover the life of Quash\, and bring his memory to the fore once again in the communities in which he lived. \nBy searching for evidence in Quash’s surroundings\, including town records and social connections\, not only was James able to find direct evidence of Quash’s life\, but build a vibrant picture of a well-connected\, motivated\, and successful individual\, whose story adds weight to arguments that Black history is there to be found\, if only we know where to look. \n  \nJames Tanzer is originally from the North Shore of Boston\, and currently resides in Bath. He has worked in the museum field for almost 30 years\, and has spent the last twelve years as the Outreach Coordinator for the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College. Since 2020 James has been researching free and enslaved Black residents of Topsham and Brunswick in the 18th- and early 19th centuries\, and is committed to uncovering the stories of these hidden Mainers. \nClick here to register online
