Upcoming Events
Sunday Lecture: Remembering Liss
Historian and author Claire Bellerjeau will discuss the discovery of a new founding figure named Elizabeth, or Liss. Liss was enslaved by the Townsend family of Oyster Bay, NY, whose most famous member was Robert Townsend aka “Culper, Jr.,” George Washington's lead spy in Manhattan during the Revolutionary War. As Robert and Liss’s story unfolds, prominent figures cross their path, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Benedict Arnold, John Graves Simcoe, John André and John Adams; as well as other important historic events. Liss’s escape with the British, re-enslavement in Manhattan and later Charleston, and her complex struggle for freedom, gives new insight into the country's founding era through the eyes of an enslaved Black woman seeking liberty in a country fighting for its own. This program also recognizes Juneteenth and the often overlooked legacy of enslaved people in the history and development of the United States.
