Information about Saturday:
The horrors of slavery get much deserved attention, and slavery’s legacy remains as an important lesson — as well as a contentious feeder into contemporary debates about racism and reparations. Identifying the causes and the participants in slavery is important. Equally — and in some contexts more — important is identifying who deserves praise, respect, and admiration for ending it.
