RESHEDULED – Dyckman Farmhouse: Bearing Witness: An Update on the Journey Toward Collaboration, Repair and Return at the Inwood Sacred Site and African Burial Ground

Bearing Witness: An Update on the Journey Toward Collaboration, Repair and Return at the Inwood Sacred Site and African Burial Ground

By Peggy King Jorde and Rachel Watkins

Thursday, August 29th at 6PM on the back porch at DFM

In Inwood until  the late 1800s, the Dyckman and Nagel family cemeteries remained with grave markings, enclosed by a fence, and appeared to be a well kept rural cemetery. A few hundreds yards away were unmarked graves of enslaved Africans. During rapid development in the early 20th century, the site was discovered in March of 1903, and again, no means of protection came for those buried in this hilly knoll, and the bodies were exhumed, examined, and stolen.

The location of the Inwood Sacred Site lies between today’s 211th and 212th Streets, between Broadway and 10th Avenue. Until recently, this block was occupied by various Auto Shops and P.S. 98 – Shorac Kappock’s faculty parking lot. The local community of Inwood is fighting to raise awareness and gain recognition of this sacred site that was sadly desecrated a century ago. Hear from the team behind the Inwood Sacred Site Memorial at this session of Back Porch History at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum.

 

Dando testimonio: Una actualización sobre el viaje hacia la colaboración, la reparación y el regreso en el Sitio Sagrado de Inwood y el Cementerio Africano.

Por Peggy King Jorde y Rachel Watkins

Jueves 22 de agosto a las 6 PM en el porche de la casa histórica y museo Dyckman.

En Inwood hasta finales de 1800, los cementerios de las familias Dyckman y Nagel permanecieron con tumbas marcadas, protegidos por una valla y parecían ser cementerios rurales bien cuidados. A unos cientos de metros había tumbas sin marcas de africanos esclavizados. Durante el rápido desarrollo de la ciudad a principios del siglo XX, el sitio fue descubierto en marzo de 1903 y de nuevo, no llegó ningún medio de protección para los enterrados en esta colina. Los cuerpos fueron exhumados, examinados y robados.

La ubicación del Sitio Sagrado de Inwood se encuentra entre las calles 211 y 212, entre Broadway y 10th Avenue. Hasta hace poco, este bloque estaba ocupado por varios talleres mecánicos y el estacionamiento de la facultad de P.S. 98 – Shorac Kappock. La comunidad local de Inwood está luchando para crear conciencia y ganar reconocimiento de este sitio sagrado que fue profanado hace un siglo. Escuche al equipo detrás del Memorial del Sitio en esta sesión de Historia en la casa histórica y museo Dyckman.

“I Was Their Midwife”: Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood on Seventeenth-Century Slave Ships

“I was their midwife”: Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood on Seventeenth-Century Slave Ships

Ships are usually seen as masculine spaces, and slave ships are no exception. But as the slave voyages database shows, about a fourth of the captives transported on board seventeenth and eighteenth-century Dutch slavers were in fact women. In this presentation, I explore the experiences of women on board these slavers, paying special attention to pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood in these spaces.

 

“Yo Fui su Partera”: Embarazo, parto y maternidad en barcos de esclavos del siglo XVII.

Por la Dra. Andrea Mosterman

28 de agosto a las 12PM

VIRTUAL VÍA ZOOM

Los barcos son usualmente vistos como espacios masculinos y los botes que transportaban esclavos no eran la excepción. Pero las bases de datos de esclavizadores holandeses de los siglos XVII y XVIII demuestran que un cuarto de todos los esclavos transportados eran mujeres. En esta presentación exploro las experiencias de estas mujeres a bordo de estas naves, prestando atención especial al embarazo, parto y maternidad en estos espacios.

WHCO at Dyckman Farmhouse: Luminae Trio: Contrasts

WHCO sunset picnic performance!

Luminae Trio: Contrasts

Friday, August 23rd at 7pm
Dyckman Farmhouse Museum
4881 Broadway at West 204th Street

Enjoy a 1 hour sunset picnic performance by the Luminae Trio in the historic setting of the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum garden. Bring your own picnic (and blanket and chairs and bug spray, etc.) to enjoy during the concert. The garden is “Leave No Trace” so be sure to clean up what you brought in.

Free admission; donations gratefully accepted.
The Washington Heights-based Luminae Trio is excited to present a diverse selection of works that draw from a wide range of musical styles and influences. Featuring Beethoven and Jennifer Higdon, two composers from distinct backgrounds, the program shares moments of both great excitement and deep intimacy.

The Luminae Trio is composed of two WHCO members, Jacob Nordlinger (cello) and Elizabeth Wright (violin), alongside fellow uptowner Jestin Pieper (piano). It is the group’s unified vision not only to share chamber music as a means of communication and expression, but also to illuminate the works of lesser-known and underrepresented composers and make this music known.
