Based on his paper in the Westchester Historian (link available here), Slavery in My Neighborhood, Howard Husock will discuss the history of slavery in Rye, focusing on which families and landowners benefited--even after New York abolished slavery by 1827.  It will discuss, as well, the extent and economics of slavery, as well as which types of households owned the enslaved--and the majority who did not.
