SUMMARY:Stolen Relations: Recovering the History of Native American Enslavement
DESCRIPTION:The Stolen Relations project is a tribally collaborative initiative to recover\, interpret\, and share with the public the long-hidden history of Native American enslavement. Developed over the past decade and formally launched in May 2025 (www.stolenrelations.org)\, the project brings together a growing database of individual records alongside contemporary Native perspectives\, artwork\, music\, and other resources for tribal and public use. \nJoin us for a presentation and discussion with two of the project’s originators – Brown University’s Linford D. Fisher\, Principal Investigator\, and Lorén M. Spears\, founding member of the Tribal Advisory Board. Together\, they will trace the history of Native enslavement and reflect on how the Stolen Relations project invites larger questions about decolonizing archives\, confronting the erasure of Native histories from our national narratives\, and reconnecting with this buried history. \nWatercolor pictured above: “What It Was Before” by Dawn Spears \n\nParticipants\nLinford D. Fisher is an Associate Professor of History at Brown University. He is the author of The Indian Great Awakening: Religion and the Shaping of Native Cultures in Early America (2012)\, the co-author of Decoding Roger Williams: The Lost Essay of Rhode Island’s Founding Father (2014)\, and the co-editor of Reading Roger Williams: Rogue Puritans\, Indigenous Nations\, and the Founding of America – A Documentary History (2024)\, as well as more than a dozen articles and chapters. Fisher is the Principal Investigator of a digital project titled Stolen Relations: Recovering Stories of Indigenous Enslavement in the Americas\, which is a community-centered\, tribal-collaborative project that seeks to broaden our understanding of Indigenous experiences of settler colonialism and its legacies through the lens of slavery and servitude. He has just finished a book called Stealing America: The Hidden Story of Indigenous Slavery in U.S. History\, which will be out with Liveright/Norton in April 2026. \nLorén M. Spears\, enrolled Narragansett Tribal Nation citizen and Executive Director of Tomaquag Museum\, holds a master’s in education and received a Doctor of Humane Letters\, honoris causa in 2017\, from the University of Rhode Island and Doctor of Education\, Honoris Causa from Roger Williams University in 2021.

SUMMARY:The Erasure of Black History: Battling For America’s Narrative
DESCRIPTION:Black history is under siege. Recent political efforts to erase America’s deep-seated legacy of racial injustice have gained ground at an alarming rate. Many narratives of Black America are now being distorted\, denied\, and buried. \nThe Center for Brooklyn History and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize bring together three acclaimed writers who have powerfully illuminated undertold Black stories\, for a discussion on what’s at stake as the deniers gain ground. \nVictor Luckerson’s Built from the Fire documents the rise and destruction of Tulsa’s Black Wall Street in the 1921 Greenwood Massacre. Robert Samuels is co-author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning His Name is George Floyd\, a deeply reported biography that reveals the personal and structural forces behind Floyd’s life and death. And Gilbert King is the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Devil in the Grove. \nTogether\, they explore the current backlash against racial justice narratives\, how truth is being rewritten\, and why it matters now more than ever. \nPhotos clockwise from top left: Victor Luckerson by Joseph Rushmore\, Robert Samuels\, Gilbert King by Olivia King
