Wednesday, November 3, 2021, at 7:00 p.m., Hiram Historical Society hosts Patricia Wall, author of Lives of Consequence: Blacks in Early Kittery and Berwick, who discusses how the shortage of labor in New England led to enslaving Native Peoples and, when that proved insufficient, cheap labor from Africa.
