Hidden Hands: Uncovering the Black presence in Fort Ticoneroga's Collections
Virtual Fort Fever Series
Join Fort Ticonderoga Curator Dr. Matthew Keagle to dive deeply into Fort Ticonderoga’s collections and uncover the evidence of Black hands on the Material Culture of the colonial and Revolutionary eras during a new Fort Fever Program.
For Black History Month, this talk will explore the role of men of African descent in the military experience of the 18th century through the objects they made and used. Race is rarely coded into material culture, but careful research can uncover the complex realities of military artifacts from across the Atlantic Ocean in the 18th century.
