Lecture: Insurrection, Conspiracy, and Resistance in Colonial New York, Live & Virtual, Yonkers 4/12
Colonial New York City was the location for two large scale insurrections and conspiracies planned and enacted by the city’s sizable enslaved community.

Lord, as he discusses these plots and other methods of resistance carried out by the enslaved community in 18th century New York.
