Hidden Jamaica Plain researchers will present the remarkable multi-generational story of a resilient Black family whose history spanned three centuries, intertwined with the history of Jamaica Plain and local Black and Indigenous communities. Enslaved in the 1700s, Peter Bridgham gained his freedom and established a Centre Street homestead that nurtured four generations.
This event is free and open to the public and light refreshments will be served. This will be a hybrid program. You can attend in person at First Church in JP’s Parish Hall at 6 Eliot St. if you are able. You can also sign up to watch online on Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pCw4AXi-RFuJYN0iclvrzg
