On the weekend preceding Juneteenth, Bill Jeffway, Executive Director of the Dutchess County Historical Society, will present "Defying Expectations: How Local Black Women of the Gilded Age Reshaped Black Education & Literacy into the 20th Century." The event will discuss two local Black women, Susan Elizabeth Frazier and Sadie Peterson Delaney, and explore the role that Black women played in uplifting the Black community of the Hudson Valley during the Gilded Age. Both women succeeded in a way that defied societal expectations. By doing so, they changed the playing field in irreversible ways on a national level. Light refreshments will be served following the presentation.
