Harriet E Wilson and the Abolition Movement
Harriet E Wilson’s remarkable life and literary legacy take center stage on this Milford tour led by Sankofa Scholar David Nelson. The experience explores Wilson’s connection to Milford, New Hampshire, where she lived during important years of her life and developed the experiences that would later shape her writing and advocacy.
Wilson is recognized as the first known African American to publish a novel on the North American continent. Her groundbreaking work, Our Nig, published in the nineteenth century, challenged the idea that racism and exploitation were problems limited to the South and brought attention to difficult realities faced by Black Americans in the North.
The tour follows places connected with Wilson’s life as a child servant, young mother, widow, and writer. Participants will also learn about her only son, George, whose tragic death in a poorhouse reflected some of the hardships that Wilson herself confronted throughout her life.
All tours depart from Manchester, New Hampshire, with the exact departure location to be confirmed. The tour requires at least 20 participants to operate. If fewer than 20 people register, participants will be notified at least 48 hours in advance and may receive a full refund or transfer to another tour. The listed pricing states $45 per person, with no discounts currently offered.
