By compiling a comprehensive, public list of enslaved persons from the Colonial period to the last recorded enslaved person in East Hampton in 1830, the Plain Sight Project is reconciling with this forgotten history while taking a step to place these people and their stories back into our nation’s founding narrative with in-class outreach to public and private schools.

The exhibit focuses on the pioneering work of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, whose long history of advocacy for labor, women’s rights, and undocumented workers helped lead to IRCA.
