NORWAY – Maine historian Bob Greene will give a talk, “Black History of Maine,” from 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4.
The program is in-person and masks that fully cover the mouth and nose are required, regardless of vaccination status. Attendance is limited to 30 people.
It is often said that Maine is the whitest state in America. Yet, black people have a long history in the Pine Tree State. It is that hidden history that Greene will discuss.
A native of Portland, Greene is the eighth generation of his family born in Cumberland County. His roots in Maine stretch back into the 1700s. Greene has a long history as a journalist, and is the 2021 recipient of the Maine Historical Society’s Neal Allen Award, which is presented each year for exceptional contributions to Maine history.
Call 207-743-5309 ext. 1, stop by the information desk, or email norlib@norway.lib.me.us with questions about the program.
