Special thanks to Ben, the owner for being willing to give me an interview for the episode (and for the burrito bowl! they had a lot of options and were flexible for many different dietary needs).

GOPR1086 Former Slaves in Lewiston
Historical Society Hosts Program on Former Slaves in Lewiston after Civil War
Androscoggin Historical Society will sponsor a program “From Slavery to
Lewiston,” by Candace Kanes, about the lives of former slaves and how they came to live
in Lewiston. The talk takes place on Tuesday, February 28, at 7 p.m. at the Society’s
Davis-Wagg Museum on the third floor of the County Building.
On April 6, 1866, about a dozen former slaves arrived in Lewiston through the
auspices of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, which worked to
find permanent employment for those freed from bondage by the Civil War. They were
the first black residents of Lewiston.
For several years, Candace Kanes, an independent historian and museum
consultant, has been researching former slaves who came to Maine following the 1863
Emancipation Proclamation.
A former newspaper reporter and editor in Ohio and Maine, Kanes holds a
doctorate in American history from the University of New Hampshire. She has taught
history and women’s studies at Bates College, Lewiston-Auburn College, the University
of Southern Maine, the University of New England, and, for many years, at the Maine
College of Art. She was the curator and historian of the Maine Memory Network and
Maine Historical Society for 12 years, where she also curated a number of museum
exhibits.
Her talk will also include information about the Freedmen’s Bureau, its
commissioner, Brig. Gen. Oliver Otis Howard of Leeds, and some of the other former
slaves who were resettled in Maine.
Admission for this program is free, although donations are gratefully accepted.
