Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 30, 2021 “The Enduring Legacy of Slavery”: a presentation with Kyera Singleton T he Malden Public Library, in collaboration with the Royall House and Slave Quarters in Medford, will present a series of programs that explore the role of slavery in America’s Founding Era and in our modern world. American slavery and the slave trade were central to the development of the United States and American prosperity in the North and South. As Americans in the 18th and 19th century defined liberty and freedom, enslaved and free Black people were central to abolishing slavery and imagining a freer and more just world. On Wednesday, May 12 at 4:30 p.m., Kyera Singleton, Executive Director of the Royall House and Slave Quarters, will present “Telling Uncomfortable Histories: The Enduring Legacy of Slavery and Racism in the North.” Singleton will address the importance of telling about slavery in the context of “northern history” as well as the legacy of slavery on society today. Prior to Singleton’s presentation, all registered participants will receive a link to a new 40-minute virtual tour video that gives viewers the chance to virtually explore the Royall House and Slave Quarters – presented by guide Lee Lafleur and created by videog~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI21P1552EA Estate of: Athena L.
