Chapel in the Pines Sunday Program for June 19, 2022 via Zoom only

Abolitionist Frederick Douglass famously asked, “What to the slave is the Fourth of July?” On Sunday, June 19, Meadow Dibble will ask members of the Nauset Fellowship and their guests to consider “What to the Cape Codder is Juneteenth?” What, in other words, do we have to do with slavery? As the Founding Director of Atlantic Black Box, Meadow will share the discoveries that caused her to launch this grassroots public history project that empowers communities throughout New England to take up the critical work of researching and reckoning with our region’s complicity in the economy of enslavement.
