Dyckman Farmhouse Museum: Back Porch History 2026 - Reclaiming Pinkster with Lavada Nahon. An hour-long lecture that dissects what Pinkster was and why celebrating it expands the humanity of the enslaved and their descendants. During Pinkster celebrations, enslaved and free Africans gathered around the colony and state to rest, renew family and friendship ties, and reconnect to a European faith that had been transformed in West Central Africa. Choices made by the Black community as they moved from property to people lessened Pinkster’s importance but did not erase its historic significance.
