This is not a Quaker or Trenton Meeting event but clearly should be of interest to all of us.  The William Trent House Museum in Trenton is presenting this event.  Here is the description from them:

Richard Geffken an archival historian with the Shrewsbury Historical Society and the Monmouth County Historical Association, will present an illustrated lecture based on his research. 

This presentation is an overview of the history and legacy of New Jersey’s two-hundred-year embrace of human bondage. New Jersey, sadly, was the last northern state to outlaw slavery (1866). New Jersey also voted against Abraham Lincoln in the 1864 presidential election. Images and stories of the enslaved, slave owners, and the Quaker Abolition movement are examined and illuminated by the influential early activities at the Shrewsbury Meeting, the Manasquan Meeting, and Quaker Meetings in West Jersey.
