Enjoying my morning coffee while reading @nmaskiell鈥檚 Bound by Bondage. Her research is crucial to understanding slavery in the Dutch Atlantic and early American colonies. It鈥檚 the perfect way to start my day of researching and writing in NYC.

What an awesome surprise to find @nmaskiell鈥檚 book in the mail today!
During and after WWII, soldiers were buried at the Dutch island Ameland after their bodies washed ashore. Some of the French and Moroccan soldiers had died at sea after they evacuated Dunkirk. These are some of the remaining graves.

Thanks to MaryEtta Schneider and Eddie Moran I had an opportunity to visit the spaces of enslavement at Historic @HuguenotStreet in New Paltz (NY) yesterday. One of the items on display is a replica of a slave collar with the name E. Hardenbergh engraved in it. #slaveryinnewyork
