SUMMARY:The Legacy of Primus Mason… Revised (Black History in Springfield)
DESCRIPTION:Regine Jackson\, board member of the Pan African Historical Museum USA (PAHMUSA)\, will delve into the history of black entrepreneur\, real estate investor\, and philanthropist Primus Mason. Mason settled in Springfield in the 1830s\, and his purchase of land in the city became a catalyst for transforming its architecture\, leading to the development of well-known neighborhoods like Mason Square. \nThis lecture is presented in partnership with the Pan African Historical Museum USA (PAHMUSA)\, a museum that links the African Diaspora to Springfield\, MA and surrounding communities. \nThis virtual lecture will take place on the Springfield Preservation Trust Facebook Page at facebook.com/PreserveSpringfield. \nThe Springfield Preservation Trust celebrates Black History Month\, commemorating and encouraging the study\, observance and celebration of the vital role of African Americans in American history. \nAbout the Speaker \nRegine Jackson is a writer who was born and raised in Springfield\, Massachusetts. Being an avid reader since she was a child\, Jackson always wished to write\, specifically stories where the main characters looked like her and the people around her. While Jackson mainly writes within the science-fiction\, horror\, and fantasy genres\, she also writes prose and poetry revolving around her life living in an inner city. She hopes to not only hone her own craft but also to bring more creative work to her city and encourage more BIPOC women to write their truths.
