Rochester's Legacy: Using It to Create the New Rochester 2022-10-12
Please join us for a discussion with Peter Jemison, Seneca Nation ( Heron Clan), founder of the Seneca Art & Cultural Center and former site manager of Ganondagan, and Erica Mock, Executive Director of the Frederick Douglass Family Initiative (FDFI).
The Finger Lakes was home to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy centuries before the arrival of Europeans. Peter is the visionary behind the Ganondagan State Historic Site in Victor and is nationally recognized for this work.
Frederick Douglass and his family resided in Rochester for 25 years, at the height of his abolitionist struggle and the critical years following the Civil War. Erica will discuss the ways FDFI is bringing attention to Douglass' message and his connection to our region.
We hope to inform you about how our remarkable history is a regional asset and differentiator. The New Rochester can embrace its past and blaze a better future.
