Join Jacqueline Jones, Professor of History Emerita at the University of Texas at Austin, for a Mill Talk exploring a sharp historical question: why were there no Black machine operatives in 19th-century New England textile mills? Jones digs into the labor and social forces behind that absence, offering a fresh lens on industrial history. It’s a thoughtful, conversation-starting talk for anyone curious about how race and work shaped the region.
