Dr. Graham Russell Hodges, George Dorland Langdon, Jr. Professor of History and African Studies at Colgate University, will explore the choices that Patriot and Loyalist Black Americans made during the American Revolution. A sizable number of Black Americans sided with the British forces, with thousands ultimately choosing exile for a mixed freedom in the British empire. At least five thousand Blacks served in the American army, showing honor and courage in key battles. The lecture will discuss why Black Americans made their choices and the eventual outcome of such major alliances. Hodges is the author of over ten books including the forthcoming biography: Henry Highland Garnet: A Passion for the Freedom-Idea (Yale University Press, 2027). Admission is free.

Dr. David Gellman, the 2026-27 A. Lindsay O'Connor Chair of American Institutions in the History Department at Colgate University, will discuss that as America's 250th gives way to the 2027 bicentennial of the final abolition of slavery in New York, the moment is ideal to contemplate the relationship between independence and emancipation in the Empire State. John Jay, diplomat, US Supreme Court Chief Justice, governor, slaveholder, and antislavery society president, provides a powerful prism for making sense of an uneven but profound transformation. The relationship between Caesar, Clarinda, Zilpah, and members of the Jay family who enslaved and later freed them entwines with the ways that this influential political family navigated the fulfillment of their antislavery beliefs. The talk thus merges public and private lives to contemplate the limits and the potential of the American Revolution. Gellman is the author of Liberty's Chain: Slavery, Abolition, and the Jay Family of New York, winner of the Herbert H. Lehman Prize.
