Lancaster Hill's Revolution

Boston National Historical Park

  • Free
In 1777 Lancaster Hill signed his name to a petition with eight other men, demanding that this new independent state of Massachusetts abolish the institution of slavery once and for all. This stroke of a pen, in his own hand, was a distinct moment in this man's transformation into an American revolutionary. Over the span of some thirty years, Lancaster Hill transformed from being a man enslaved by a government, to a man who demanded recognition and accountability of government. Join National Parks of Boston Park Ranger Eric Hanson Plass for a presentation and discussion about this revolutionary and parishioner of King's Chapel.
