Post ReplyThis roundup of articles was just one of several items included in the weekly list of "Legacies links" curated by the Legacies of American Slavery project staff: https://legaciesofslavery.net/2023/05/22/legacies-links-for-may-22-2023/. I encourage everyone on H-Slavery to visit our blog at www.legaciesofslavery.net and learn more about this initiative from the Council of Independent Colleges.
Dear Phil Katz,
Thank you for this reply and for adding all these details. I was also about to add another item from your blog, the Spectrum debate on "Solid History and Porous Memories: A Lecture Ignites a Debate on Ethics" (https://spectrummagazine.org/news/2023/solid-history-and-porous-memorie…). The Legacies is a very interesting blog and, I will add, readers may choose to receive it via email, each Monday.
