Join us Monday, April 28th at 6:30 pm for a presentation by Stephanie Najarian White, the inaugural Flora T. Little Fellow in Local History at the Bridgewater Public Library.
About the Presentation:
White’s research in the library archives began with Bridgewater’s economic links to the Carver cotton gin in the 1800s and soon led to Natchez, Mississippi, where many of the gins were sold and used by enslaved people, both before and after the U. S. Civil War.
White will show how the links between the two cities, that began with cotton capitalism, have shaped both communities in ways that are still felt today.
