Meet the Potamias:
From Slavery to Freedom in 18th Century Reading & North Reading
Thursday February 11, 2027
7pm at the Flint Memorial Library in North Reading
What if you discovered that your local ancestor was an enslaver? For local researcher Lori Lynes, that question led her to uncover stories of the man he enslaved - Pomp Potamia - and Pomp’s family. Their all-but-forgotten lives offer a new perspective on our community during the Revolutionary era.
Co-sponsored with the North Reading Antiquarian and Historical Society and the North Reading Human Rights Group.
