The twelfth annual Handel-Krom Lecture in Hudson River Valley History was delivered by Dr. Nicole Maskiell, author of Bound by Bondage: Slavery and the Creation of a Northern Gentry (2022). Her lecture focused on the ways that slavery shaped Hudson River Valley culture by examining the social and kinship networks that intertwined enslavers with those they enslaved in the region and throughout the Northeast.
