# 6 in our very popular series of Art Talks with Jane Oneail of Culturally Curious, in celebration of Black History Month.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends
towards justice.” This program examines that arc as it relates to African American
history enshrined in American Art. From colonial era portraits to 19th-century and Jim
Crow-era prints to 1960s Civil Rights photography, this program will provide a visual
overview of African American oppression, struggle and progress towards equality.

Maynard Sesquicentennial History Series, February 2021

In celebration of Black History Month, Maynard author and historian David Mark will speak about Massachusetts’ history of slavery. Massachusetts was the first colony to legalize slavery (1641) and the first to end it (1783). A census conducted in 1754 reported that between 1 and 2% of the colony's population was adult slaves (children were not counted).  With the Revolutionary War still raging on, Massachusetts passed a state constitution in 1780. Key wording: "All men are born free and equal..." A court case a few years later confirmed this applied to people of color.

This is the first in a series of local history talks in celebration of Maynard's Sesquicentennial.
