This workshop, led by collaborating scholars Tobi Jacobi and Laura Rogers, is a roundtable discussion and dialogue about how we read and interpret documents from a complex past and what these documents can tell us about the girls who lived at the Hudson Training School nearly a century ago.

Marking Black History Month 2014, the Prison Public Memory Project and Staley B. Keith Social Justice Center are sponsoring community readings and dialogues in Hudson, NY in partnership with the Hudson Area Library and REV Coffeehouse.  

Help preserve and tell the history of the prison in Hudson, formerly the New York Training School for Girls and House of Refuge for Women.
