Black on the Wisconsin Frontier, 1725-1868

Join us for an enlightening talk with Christy Pujara-Clark, PhD, the Chair and Professor in the Department of African at UW-Madison. Discover the untold narratives of free and enslaved Black individuals who lived, labored, and thrived in towns such as Prairie du Chien, Racine, Green Bay, Lancaster, Milwaukee, and Menominee. Despite being a small minority, these resilient communities resisted bondage and fought for their rights, resisting political marginalization. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the complexities of race, slavery, and the Black experience in early Wisconsin history.
