The Butler Takes Charge webinar promotional video
Don't miss our free webinar, The Butler Takes Charge, this week!
Gore Place is telling the story of African American author, abolitionist and domestic servant Robert Roberts, butler to the Gores.
On Thursday, June 25 at 7 pm and Saturday, June 27 at 3 pm, Gore Place historian Diann Strausberg will lead a webinar, The Butler Takes Charge. In his how-to manual entitled "The House Servantâs Directory", Robert Roberts wrote that large dinner parties were the most challenging of all a butlerâs duties. For Roberts, a quiet activism was woven through everythingâyour work, your speech, your behaviorâand managing a successful dinner party could do more than just demonstrate a servantâs job mastery.
Join this special, live presentation with Q & A as we explore the quiet activism of Robert Roberts. For the past three years, Diann has been researching Robert Roberts and his various roles as author, abolitionist and leader in Bostonâs free Black community in the early 1800s.
This event features live, real-time captioning. This event is free with a suggested donation of $10.
