Exploring Hidden African American History
August 18, 2022
The Bird Homestead and Meeting House Conservancy and Lewis Latimer House Museum co-present: “Exploring Hidden African American History”
A series of three virtual presentations on three 19th-century Free Black communities in the New York region, these presentations accompany the excavation of archaeological sites located on the grounds of the Meeting House from July 25 to August 3. These sites of former buildings in Rye, New York were once owned by William Voris, an African American entrepreneur in the 19th century.
For the series' second event, Eugene Boesch, PhD, will speak on the 19th century African American community known as ‘The Hills’. The Hills is a significant Westchester County historic resource. Archaeology undertaken there in 1989 at the site of the former Gall house recovered historic ceramics, bottle glass, personal objects, food remains, and other domestic and sacred items. Analyses of the artifacts and other data demonstrated that the Gall household engaged in an economically vibrant, middle class, non-agricultural lifestyle for much of the 19th century which at the time of excavations were not generally thought to characterize ‘The Hills.’ The archaeological study was the first to systematically investigate the area.

‘Temple of Acacia’ Exhibition Opening
August 21, 2022
Join us for the opening reception of Temple of Acacia, a solo exhibition by Dario Mohr. Visit us on August 21 from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. to meet the artist, curator Katherine Gressel, and participate in a special performance by Dario.
Temple of Acacia is dedicated to the spiritual practices of West Africa that have been and continue to be suppressed in the U.S. cultural zeitgeist. The Acacia tree is native to many regions of Africa, and became the primary icon representing the diverse tribal nations from which people of the African diaspora in the Americas are descended.
In this site-specific, multimedia installation at Old Stone House, Dario Mohr attempts to understand and relate his own evolving spiritual beliefs to those of his indigenous ancestors, while drawing visually from the Anglican colonial religious practices of his upbringing which he later abandoned. The exhibition holds the religious rituals of Mohr’s ancestors and other descendants of this region in high esteem, transforming the gallery into a sacred space of veneration and remembrance of the spirituality that many Black people in the U.S.’s ancestors once practiced, and that continues to be practiced today.
Temple of Acacia will be on view during museum open hours on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through October 2.
Start time: 2:00 pm
