Black history in Schenectady dates back more than 350 years. Unfortunately, much of that history has been lost to time. In this program we'll focus on the disappearance of historic Black burial grounds in our area. Well discuss the recent work of the Schenectady County Historical Society to recover one such burial ground in some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable. Learn more about local history during this important Black History Month event.
