FORGOTTEN MELTING POTOn October 8, Philipse Manor Hall will be sponsoring a Quadricentennial Expert Panel, which will feature a number of expert panelists discussing New York's cultural landscape and the contributions of under-represented people. The panel will focus on the transitional 17nth century, but will look to various moments in history and the present day, elucidating African American, Native American, Dutch, and women's roles.
Panelists include Sherrill Wilson, Tom Lake, David Ocstreicher, Martha Shattuck, and Louise Devenish. See the image for more details about each panelist.
The schedule is listed below:
6 pm: Object Analysis: Guests are invited to bring in their American "Found Objects" (arrowheads, African textiles, etc.) for analysis by the experts. Please note this is not an appraisal, but rather a placing of cultural and social significance of the object.
7 pm: Panel Discussion: followed by an open Q and A from the audience.
8:30: Reception and booksigning.
