Imagine the numbers of Black community members from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries whose contributions in music, art, sports, the hospitality industry, manufacturing and family life quietly shaped the town's development. In this workshop we will share some of the names, faces and figures of Greenfield's oft-elusive past.
