The North Fork Arts Center is honored to welcome historians Jennifer L. Morgan and Donnamarie Barnes for a thought-provoking discussion on their work, The Daughters of Judah: A Multigenerational Story of Slavery and Freedom on the East End.

Jennifer L. Morgan (an award-winning author, a 2024 MacArthur Fellow and a professor at New York University) and Donnamarie Barnes (Director of History & Heritage at Sylvester Manor) bring their extensive expertise to uncover the hidden narratives of African American families on Long Island. Their collaboration in telling the story of The Daughters of Judah explores the generational impact of slavery and the enduring fight for freedom in the region, shining a light on the remarkable stories of women who shaped the course of history.
