Seth Goldstein, Professor at the Maine College of Art, will join us to present “A People’s (Virtual) Walking Tour of Portland.” Professor Goldstein will start at the statue of George Cleeves on the waterfront and will walk us through the history of the First Peoples in the region; the French and Indian Wars and the virgin soil epidemics that killed many of the First Peoples; the African Diaspora and Maine’s maritime industry; and Portland’s role as a hub of the Underground Railroad.
