Event Details

Even after 300 years, Salem’s witch trials remain a defining example of intolerance and injustice in American history. The extraordinary events of 1692-3 led to the deaths of 25 innocent people, the vast majority of whom were women. 

The New-York Historical Society looks at those accused of witchcraft, their accusers, and those who defended them against legal charges, risking their lives and reputations. In moments of injustice, what role would you play?
