Tuesday Talks: Dr. Michael Pregot: Slavery and Abolitionism on Cape Cod

Join us for our September ‘Tuesday Talks’ lecture on Tuesday, 09/09, at 5pm with Dr. Michael Pregot. Dr. Pregot will be discussing his new book, Slavery and Abolitionism on Cape Cod. Books will be available for purchase and signing afterwards.

Michael Pregot is an educator, writer, and admirer of local history. Dr. Pregot has intensely researched this subject to create a comprehensive examination of this often-overlooked part of Cape Cod history. The book discusses religious views, political platforms, economic factors, and social movements that existed during the pre-Civil War period to help readers gain insight into the mindset of the era. It also highlights several profiles of notable Black enslaved individuals living in Massachusetts and demonstrates the enormous contributions they made to the overall growth of our state and country.
