Remember to bring your laptops to class on Monday to work on the website. Here is the link to Slavery by Another Name: http://www.slaverybyanothername.com/
Here, you can read about the author and the documentary. If you scroll down the page, you will see a link to watch the film. We saw the first 15 minutes which sets up the political environment that would help develop the system of convict leasing. You’ll also see actors portraying some of the stories bringing the archival data to life!
Bring the note you wrote on what you learned from the New York and Slavery readings to class tomorrow. You will hand them in at the end of class. It can be hand written just like an in-class writing.
I may be a little late tomorrow (Wednesday, April 23rd). I plan to meet our guest speaker in the lobby and walk with him to our class. Please wait for us in the classroom.
When we return from break, we will have a guest speaker from the African Burial Ground. You should have completed the readings on New York and slavery and written a short note about what you learned from those readings. Also, think of a question you can ask our guest about the burial ground. Enjoy the break!
