Peter J. Gomes Memorial Book Prize Ceremony

Kerri Greenidge, Tufts University
Annette Gordon-Reed, Harvard University
Tuesday, February 9, 2021, 6:00PM - 7:30PM
Registration required; no fee

Please join us for a special evening in which historian Kerri Greenidge will receive the 2020 Gomes Prize for Black Radical: The Life and Times of William Monroe Trotter. Greenidge will join Annette Gordon-Reed in a conversation about Trotter’s pursuit of radical equality and Black self-determination, as well as the multilayered world of Black Boston that was not simply an abolitionist haven for former slaves but a segregated world with limited opportunity for even a Harvard-educated man like Trotter.
