The Maryland State Colonization Society was a former auxiliary of the American Colonization Society (ACS) that recruited free and manumitted Black Marylanders to settle in Liberia. From 1832 to 1861, the Maryland State Colonization Society was largely supported by appropriations from the Maryland General Assembly. At 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 19, “Legacy of Slavery Project at the Maryland State Archives” will be the focus of a free online presentation of Montgomery History.
Hannah Lane, research archivist in the Legacy of Slavery in Maryland Department, will lead the discussion about the Papers of the Maryland Colonization Society and other resources at the Maryland State Archives.
