Hundreds of enslaved people built the White House, and a marker tells this story. The picture appears in my book Humans in Shackles, on page 218. I took the photo in 2021, and the picture will be on the last slide of my last Winter-Spring's in-person lecture about the book. #slaveryarchive

On Feb 27, WED I will give a lecture in person at Western Kentucky University based on my @uchicagopress.bsky.social book Humans in Shackles. I chose the lecture's title months ago, months before Nov 5, 2024. Now the significance of the history of slavery is bigger than ever before. #slaveryarchive

It's #BlackHistoryMonth let's move to Africa, starting with Herman Bennett: "The gloss of medieval stereotypes, based on a mythology of the monstrous, the barbarous, and the savage, nurtured the Africanists' indifference to the medieval past..." (p. 79) #slaveryarchive

It's #BlackHistoryMonth kickoff: #Slaveryarchive invites you to read global Black history. We start with Brooding over Bloody Revenge (Cambridge University Press, 2023) by Nikki M. Taylor that shows how enslaved women in the USA resisted slavery in the most dreadful conditions.

RIP ❤️ Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be a blessing.
