Solomon Northup “Hope Out of Darkness” evening presentations at Victoria Pool House
Thursday, July 10, 2025 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM
Saratoga Spa State Park
Melissa Howell, Solomon Northup descendant and founder of The Solomon Northup Legacy, presents Monument as Memory: Family, Art, and the Living Legacy of Solomon Northup examining how public art can reclaim stories nearly lost to history. Through the powerful presence of Hope Out of Darkness, this presentation explores the role of monuments not just as commemorations, but as active engagements with the past. It considers how sculpture, narrative, and visual form can restore dignity, confront injustice, and ensure that voices once silenced remain visible, heard, and enduring in our public consciousness. NYS Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Interpreter of African American History Lavada Nahon presents The Impact of the Fugitive Slave Acts on New York's Black Communities. Signed in 1793, by George Washington, the first of two Fugitive Slave Acts entered US Federal Law. The 1850 Act raised the bar. While managing a range of challenges to their new free status, New York's Black communities additionally faced increased pressure of kidnapping and re-enslavement. In this presentation, Lavada Nahon, Interpreter of African American History for NYS OPRHP shares a look at what the Fugitive Slaves Acts did to New Yorkers as slavery grew outside of the state.

Free in the Spa City
Wednesday, August 13, 2025 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM
Saratoga Spa State Park
Dr. Myra Armstead, Professor of Historical Studies at Bard College, presents Free in the Spa City at the Victoria Pool House. The emergence of Saratoga Springs as a national resort after 1820 was facilitated by a small, but critical free, Black population. The overwhelming majority of these African Americans were workers – some year-round and some seasonal. In time, some were even tourists. This talk will provide an overview of the development of this black presence in Saratoga – its labors, residential patterns, demographic, and social rhythms. The focus will mainly be on the 19th century.

Ebony Hillbillies Concert
Wednesday, September 24, 2025 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM
Saratoga Spa State Park
An Ebony Hillbillies concert at Saratoga Music Hall (474 Broadway Saratoga Springs, NY 12866) is the final event of NYS Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation's Solomon Northup "Hope Out of Darkness" statue series. African American string bands were an essential part of daily life throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Its practitioners played for pleasure, for church, and to relieve the enormous stresses of life on the plantation. String bands served as an early melting pot for musical and creative integration of Africans, African Americans and Native Americans, with influences by Scottish, Irish and other European immigrants.
