10:30 a.m. Program: Dr. Michael Pregot, author of ‘Slavery and Abolitionism
on Cape Cod’
He is an educator, writer, and admirer of local history. As a Cape Cod resident, he loves researching the stories of historic maritime figures to share familiar and yet untold vignettes of their deeds with others. His goal is to keep an audience drawn to and focused on vivid stories of the sea.
To many in New England, the idea that Cape Cod sea captains were connected to the slave trade seemed downright shocking. In Slavery and Abolitionism on Cape Cod, Dr. Pregot’s extensive research covers the who, what, where, how, and why of one of the most controversial chapters in Cape Cod and Bay State history.
