Our Mission:
Centralizing Resources, Centralizing Stories

Founded by the Lloyd Family in 2021, the Enslaved Legacy History Coalition (commonly referred to as the Slave Legacy History Coalition) is a consortium of individuals, organizations, and institutions engaged in the preservation and promotion of the history of enslaved New Englanders and the legacies they left behind in Greater Boston and beyond.

The Legacy of Slavery affects us all, so the history of slavery belongs to all of us. Across the African Diaspora, so many stories like the Lloyds’ have been lost to time and are waiting to be told. The Coalition was formed in hopes of connecting more families back to these histories. We want to connect descendants of the enslaved in New England with the platforms, resources, and organizations doing the work to research slavery in New England.

We have since expanded to be a platform for all – for use both as an audience and as presenters. With our monthly online speaker series, organized day trips, and partnerships with local historical celebrations, we offer many ways for both those familiar and those unfamiliar with the history of slavery in New England to engage.

Please refer to our Work with Us page to get more information on how to present with us, and our Events page to learn more about upcoming events.
