Our Partners

The Reimaging New England Histories project is organized by the Ruth J. Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery & Justice at Brown University, Mystic Seaport Museum, Williams College, and the Williams-Mystic Program in close partnership with tribes and local communities. Central to the project is a collaborative process with the partnering communities who actively advise and shape the contours of the project. This project acknowledges that members of these communities  are key caretakers of intergenerational knowledge and practices as well as longstanding critical commentators on the devastating impacts of settler colonialism and racial slavery, and their ongoing effects in everyday life.  The project is made possible through the generous support of the Mellon Foundation’s Just Futures Initiative.
