Princeton’s Early African American History with Shirley Satterfield, Morven

Thursday November 13, 2025
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Join us for an engaging presentation about the early history of Princeton’s African American community with Educator and Princeton Historian Shirley Satterfield.

Morven’s newest exhibition, Northern Families, Southern Ties (opening November 6, 2025), explores the complex connections between North and South, and the interstate movement of enslaved people from the late eighteenth century through the Civil War.

How did these larger connections and movements impact Princeton’s Black community? Educator, Princeton Historian, and Founder of the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society, Shirley Satterfield, will lead an illustrated talk sharing the stories, experiences, and foundational contributions of African Americans in eighteenth and nineteenth century Princeton. This is a free hybrid event. Attend in person at Morven, or join online via Zoom webinar. Pre-registration is required.
