Taylor also provides a resource to guide readers to BIPOC-owned hot sauces\, jams\, spice\, and waffle mixes companies and lists fun gadgets to make your Juneteenth special. \nThese recipes and our conversation with Taylor will inspire you to host your own parties to salute one of the most important American holidays\, and moments to savor joy all year round. \n  \n\n\nLight refreshments will be served. \n  \n\n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Quaff & Quill: Book Talk with Jordan B. Smith
DESCRIPTION:Join the Institute for Thomas Paine Studies for a talk with Professor Jordan B. Smith (Widener University) about his new book\, The Invention of Rum: Creating the Quintessential Atlantic Commodity (2025) to learn the complex history of rum\, from its production to its consumption\, and from its origins in the Caribbean to its impact on the Atlantic world. \nIt was strong. It was cheap. It was ubiquitous. Fermented and distilled from the refuse of sugar production\, rum emerged in the seventeenth-century Caribbean as a new commodity. To conjure something desirable from waste\, the makers\, movers\, and drinkers of rum arrived at its essential qualities through cross-cultural experimentation and exchange. Those profiting most from the sale of rum also relied on plantation slavery\, devoured natural resources\, and overlooked the physiological effects of overconsumption in their pursuit of profit. Focusing on the lived experiences of British colonists\, Indigenous people\, and enslaved Africans\, The Invention of Rum shows how people engaged in making and consuming this commodity created a new means of profit that transformed the Atlantic world. \nLight refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\n\nPresented in partnership with the Huguenot & New Rochelle Historical Association. \nFor in person registration\, click HERE. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar\, click HERE. \n  \nThis program is produced with support from the Lapidus Initiative for Early American Inquiry and the “Common Sense and the Constitution: Civic Engagement in the Spirit of 1776” initiative from the American History and Civics Education – Seminars (AHC-Seminars) Program at the Department of Education.

SUMMARY:Quaff & Quill: Book Talk with Jacqueline Beatty
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Women’s History Month program with Professor Jacqueline Beatty (York College of Pennsylvania) about her new book In Dependence: Women and the Patriarchal State in Revolutionary America (2023) to learn about women’s agency in early America and how their dependent status – rather than their independent status – enabled them to achieve financial and legal protections. \nIn Dependence explores the ways in which women in Boston\, Philadelphia\, and Charleston manipulated their legal\, social\, and economic positions of dependence and turned these constraints into vehicles of female empowerment. Although the law and social custom established restrictions on women’s rights and behavior\, early American women were not completely powerless in their dependent state. By using legislative petitions\, divorce cases\, marriage settlements\, equity cases\, probate records\, manumission deeds\, freedom suits\, almshouse records\, and charitable institutional files\, In Dependence demonstrates that women defined their relationship with the patriarchal state—the colonial\, revolutionary\, and early national governments and organizations helmed by elite men—in terms of their multifaceted dependencies. \nLight refreshments will be served. \n  \nThis is a hybrid event. Please join us in person or online via Zoom. \nCLICK HERE FOR IN PERSON REGISTRATION\nThomas Paine Cottage Museum\n20 Sicard Avenue\nNew Rochelle\, NY 10804\nDriving Directions \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE ZOOM WEBINAR \nPresented in partnership with the Huguenot & New Rochelle Historical Association

SUMMARY:Quaff & Quill: Book Talk with Zara Anishanslin
DESCRIPTION:The war that we now call the American Revolution was not only fought in the colonies with muskets and bayonets. On both sides of the Atlantic\, artists armed with paint\, canvas\, and wax played an integral role in forging revolutionary ideals. Zara Anishanslin charts the intertwined lives of three such figures who dared to defy the British monarchy: Robert Edge Pine\, Prince Demah\, and Patience Wright. From London to Boston\, from Jamaica to Paris\, from Bath to Philadelphia\, these largely forgotten patriots boldly risked their reputations and their lives to declare independence. \nJoin the Institute for Thomas Paine Studies for a talk with Professor Zara Anishanslin (University of Delaware) about her new book The Painter’s Fire: A Forgotten History of the Artists Who Championed the American Revolution (Harvard\, 2025) to learn about an extraordinary cohort of artists whose experiences testify to both the promise and the limits of liberty in the founding era. \nLight refreshments will be served. \n  \n\n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event.
