First Germans in America
Presented by Lori Coffey. In the 1600s, a ship full of families escaping religious persecution headed to the shores of the New World and began a great migration. If you think these are the Pilgrims, think again! These were Germans who fled to Pennsylvania on the Concord. A watershed moment in history that has been long forgotten, until now. We learn about the political unrest and religious persecution which drove these cousins of William Penn to help found his new colony. And watch as they grow their German town to be a beacon of light for the 7 million Germans who follow. Registration is only required for Zoom attendees.
