Plantation as Mission: American Indians, Enslaved Africans, and Jesuit Missionaries in Maryland (Historically Speaking)
People of American Indian, African, and European ancestry have been connected with Maryland’s Jesuit plantations throughout their history. Archaeological evidence of Indian missions in Maryland—however fragmented—contributes to a narrative of the Maryland missions that is at odds with prevailing nineteenth- and twentieth-century histories.
Join Dr. Laura Masur, Associate Professor of Antropology at the Catholic University of America, as she probes this often over-looked part of Maryland - and St Mary's County - history.
A pre-lecture reception will be held on the Terrace of Dougherty-Palmer Commons starting at 6:15pm.
The Lecture and Reception are FREE but reservations are required
