‘Contradictory Place’: Cotton Mills Alongside Anti-Slavery Efforts in Lowell Massachusetts
A screening and discussion with film collaborator Professor Robert Forrant
December 7, 2022, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Join us for a group screening and discussion of ‘Contradictory Place’: Cotton Mills Alongside Anti-Slavery Efforts in Lowell Massachusetts.
‘Contradictory Place’ describes the extraordinary anti-slavery efforts taking place in Lowell in the mid-19th century when the city’s cotton mills were at their peak. Professor Robert Forrant and Maritza Grooms visit the sites that still exist in downtown Lowell where abolitionist activity occurred, including a stop on the Underground Railroad.
A conversation led by Professor Forrant will follow the screening.
