Event Details - NB & The Black Atlantic: Virtual Speaker Series

An examination of New Brunswick’s historical narrative through the lens of broader events in the Atlantic Basin - in particular the African Diaspora - will be the focus of the season’s final presentation in the York Sunbury Historical Society virtual speaker series featuring historian Graham Nickerson.

This LIVE event is FREE and will be held via ZOOM at 7 pm on Thursday, May 20, 2021. The presentation will be recorded and made available online after the event.

Historian Graham Nickerson will share the broad spectrum of Black existence in the Atlantic region that emerges from an examination of the history of Black Maritimers. By approaching their story in a holistic way, Nickerson explains how the quest for freedom and equality was a thread connecting New Brunswick Blacks through space and time back to the earliest Black settlers. His presentation maps those threads and visually depicts that network.
