October 25, 6:30 – 7:45 PM: “Slavery and Smallpox Inoculation”
Prof. Elise Mitchell, Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Princeton University
The African Atlantic history of smallpox inoculation is a rich, yet oft-overlooked story. This lecture contextualizes the more familiar history of Onesimus and Cotton Mather in early eighteenth-century Boston within the broader history of Africans performing smallpox inoculations in West Africa, Jamaica, and Saint Domingue (Haiti) in the Revolutionary Era of the late eighteenth century.
