The inaugural lecture in our 2022 Lecture Series, by Dr. Andrea Mosterman.

The Holland Society of New York is pleased to welcome members, friends, and guests for our spring reception.

Who are the “important” people in our family portraits, and who is missing or invisible? How can we celebrate our family history when it implicates us in America’s tragic legacy of slavery?

Journalist Elizabeth Moore tells the story of how she slowly came to face unpleasant facts about a prominent Dutch New York ancestor who played a leading role in the city’s slave trade, and where that journey is leading today.

Elizabeth Moore is a freelance writer and journalism lecturer with twenty-five years of award-winning daily newspaper experience focused on government and politics, and was a member of the Newsday team that won a 1997 Pulitzer Prize. She traces her roots to Claes Ripse Van Dam, a carpenter who in 1657 was fined by Fort Orange magistrates for tippling after the ringing of the bell. She lives in Washington Heights.


This talk will be held in person at St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery in New York City. Please note that masks are required and all attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination.

All are welcome to the first-ever Holland Society Dinner Dance After-Party! The After-Party will be held from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Lotos Club Grill. Separate tickets are available for purchase by both Dinner Dance attendees and those who are not attending the Dinner Dance; non-Holland Society friends are welcome!

We will have live music by members of the Lester Lanin Orchestra, as well as an open bar and late-night snacks.

The Holland Society of New York is proud to announce the 131st Annual Dinner Dance, which will be held on Saturday, October 30th, 2021 at the Lotos Club in New York City. Carolyn McCormick and Byron Jennings will receive the Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement in the Performing Arts.
