SUMMARY:Emancipation and Freedom: People of African Descent and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The historical importance of the American War of Independence for Black Americans is unquestionable. The number of Black men who served in the military during this war is between 5\,000 and 10\,000. But how do we remember and memorialize Black Patriots and history makers from that era? What lenses do we look through to see them? What narrative structure do we use to talk about the past they experienced? What parameters do we use for framing that narrative? And how does it relate to the more well-known narrative? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this virtual presentation by Dr. Robert Bellinger from the Wilton Historical Society. \nBellinger is a public historian with a Ph.D. in history from Boston College. As the proprietor of Righting Histories\, Bellinger engages in projects that involve research and interpretation of African American history\, local histories and historic sites. \nBellinger has been engaged as a researcher\, advisor or consultant on several public history projects including the National Park Service project “The Experience of Africans During the American Revolution;” the development of a Black History Trail in Concord\, MA; “Harvesting Heritage\,” an upcoming exhibit at South Carolina State Museum; and “Conversations of Freedom\,” the 250th anniversary exhibit at Middleton Place\, Charleston\, SC. \nIn 2021 Bellinger founded the African Seed Exchange (ASÉ) which documents the introduction of African food crops into North America by Africans and African Americans in South Carolina from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Currently Bellinger is completing a manuscript on the history of the Black residents of Lexington\, MA\, 1690-1820. Working with the Lexington History Museums this text will help expand the interpretation of the history of this Massachusetts community. \nBellinger serves on the boards of the Robbins House\, the Shirley-Eustis House\, Rediscover Mapledale\, the Slave Legacy History Coalition\, Lexington History Museums\, and Middleton Place in Charleston\, SC. Bellinger is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution\, the Massachusetts Historical Society\, the Colonial Society of Massachusetts\, and the African America Historical and Genealogical Society. \nThe talk will be held virtually on Thursday\, Sept. 10\, at 7 p.m. \nThe event is free for Historical Society members. For non-members\, there is a $10 fee.

SUMMARY:Iconoclasm in Wilton: The Revolutionary-era Statue of King George III
DESCRIPTION:Join the Wilton Historical Society on Wednesday\, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. for a presentation by University of Delaware professor Wendy Bellion that will explore the 1776 tearing down of the King George statue and Wilton’s direct role in the historic events that followed. \nOn the night of July 9\, 1776\, a crowd emboldened by a public reading of the Declaration of Independence pulled a huge equestrian statue of George III from its pedestal at Bowling Green in lower Manhattan. A British officer conveyed the decapitated head to London\, intending to demonstrate the patriots’ defiance\, and soldiers transported the remaining fragments via Wilton to Litchfield\, where the statue was melted down and recast as ammunition for Continental soldiers. En route\, loyalists in Wilton absconded with pieces of the statue\, concealing them in fields\, swamps and cellars. This talk revisits this dramatic episode of the American Revolution and explores its lesser-known afterlife in the 19th- and 20th century\, when the fragments re-emerged as historical relics and re-enactors recreated the lost statue — only to destroy it all over again. \nBellion is Professor of Art History and Sewell C. Biggs Chair in American Art at the University of Delaware. Her scholarship focuses on the art and material culture of the 18th- and 19th-century Atlantic world and the early modern Americas. Her most recent publications include the books Iconoclasm in New York: Revolution to Reenactment (2019); Citizen Spectator: Art\, Illusion and Visual Perception in Early National America (2011)\, which was awarded the Smithsonian Institution’s Eldredge Prize; and the co-edited volume Material Cultures of the Global Eighteenth Century: Art\, Mobility\, and Change (2023). Her current research explores the women of the family of artist Charles Willson Peale. \nThe event is free for Historical Society members and $10 for non-members.
