Monday Lecture Series – September 2022

 

Jeff Ludwig, PhD, Director of Education, Seward House Museum,
Topic: The Mystery of Margaret: Unraveling the Story of Harriet Tubman’s “Daughter” and Her Ties to the Seward Family

Based on original research into Harriet Tubman, this program follows her story from enslavement in the Antebellum South to her relationship with the Seward family of Auburn, NY during her years as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. It does so through the unique lens of Margaret Stewart, a young child very close to Tubman who was entrusted to the Seward family during the Civil War. The program concludes with a look at Harriet Tubman’s life as a resident of Auburn throughout the second half of her life.

Bio: Jeff Ludwig is the Director of Education at the Seward House Museum in Auburn, NY. He holds a PhD in History from the University of Rochester and previously worked in the Rochester’s Office of the City Historian.

Women and the Vote

 

Don’t miss the new documentary, “Women and the Vote,” which premiers tonight at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV. This film takes viewers to five cemeteries across New York state on Election Day 2020, where voters reflect on the sacrifice of suffragists who fought for women’s rights and weaves in historical photographs and reminders of the suffragist legacy.
The documentary is part of a larger project to collect and share information about New York suffrage activists through 1920, when the 19th Amendment was passed, and beyond. The Anthony Museum is a proud fiscal sponsor of this project.
