Salem Poor, an American Hero
A video by Eamon OCearuil
As soon as I watched this video “Salem Poor, an American Hero” by high school student Eamon OCearuil, I knew I had to share it with our History Buzz readers.
Thank you, Eamon, for sharing your video with us.
Great video! For further information about slavery in New England, check out Jared Hardesty's book Unfreedom. The enslaved experience had many different versions, far beyond the stories we've learned about the southern cotton fields.
See also programming at the Old North Church historic site, which is grappling with its own connection to the slave trade in the early 1700s.
Nicely done Eamon!
