Events & Calendars “Ancestral Bridges” Opening Reception

Ancestral Bridges: Celebrating Black and Afro-Indigenous Families who Lived and Worked in Amherst in the 18th through Early 20th Centuries is an exhibit of historical photographs and artifacts, which will be on view in Frost Library through the summer of 2023.

This exhibition, the first partnership between the Ancestral Bridges Foundation and Amherst College, seeks to center this long-neglected aspect of town history and to reveal the rich and complex lives of the Black and Afro-Indigenous community of Amherst.
