The Lattimore Circle
Channel: Saratoga County History Center
Date: 2022-02-21

The Lattimore Circle is by Julie O’Connor and Lorie Wies, both retired librarians with a deep interest in local Black History. This Saratoga County History Roundtable presentation focuses on the saga of the Lattimore family over several generations in which they were key figures in the establishment of a viable and thriving Black community in Albany and Saratoga county and became important links with the anti-slavery and abolition movements. During this time, they continued their influence after moving to the Town of Moreau and Saratoga Springs during the mid-19th century. The presentation will be held in the Long Room at the Brookside Museum to coincide with the “Black Experiences in Saratoga County, 1750-1950” exhibition.
