SUMMARY:Presentation: "The Underground Railroad as Afrofuturism: Exploring New Galaxies in the Outer Spaces of Slavery"
DESCRIPTION:Description: This lecture employs the lens of Afrofuturism to address new dimensions of the Underground Railroad\, detailing what imagination\, tact\, and technology\, it took for fugitive Blacks to flee to the “outer spaces of slavery.” The talk addresses the intersections of race\, technology\, and liberation by retroactively applying a modern concept to dynamic historical Black moments. Special attention will be paid to runaways in Central and Western New York that fled to Canada\, as well as Harriet Tubman\, and Frederick Douglass. \nThe lecture will be held in the Cayuga Museum’s Carriage House Theater\, with the presenter attending virtually. \n*ASL services provided by Interpretek\, with grant funding thanks to the National Park Foundation  \nPresenter bio: dann j.

SUMMARY:The Impact of Land Speculation on the Early Development of Auburn\,  New York
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Dr. Anderson will discuss the extent to which land speculation along the early Post-Revolutionary New York frontier had both positive and negative impacts on the economic growth and future industrial development of emerging communities like Auburn. \nUsing for comparison what happened to land sales in the Cayuga Reservation and Seneca Falls\, as well as those in the larger scale speculations further west\, Dr. Anderson will demonstrate that Auburn’s development and the prosperity of its early entrepreneurs benefited greatly from the more free market conditions found among land speculations in The New Military Tract\, where it was centrally located. \nReservations & Live Stream\n\nAdmission to this program is $10 for the general public\, $5 for Museum Members. If you have access to a Museum Guest Pass\, you may redeem a pass for free entry to this program. \nIf you are unable to attend this program in-person\, you may request access to the live stream with a $5 donation.
