Hi Kathy...putting it on my list. Our Banned Books group is reading Stamped, a YA by Jason Reynolds’s and Ibram X. Kendi. I think its intent is working; feeling very uncomfortable while reading.
Many a New England fortune was made via the slave trade. Doubly interesting that it was written by Htfd Courant writers. Thanks for the recommendation ... arghh ... I will live forever if it depends on my finishing by TBR pile! ;-)
I went to hear this author speak. She was so outraged that she never knew how the North profited from slavery. The room was as quiet as a church. Loved the book and and her other title, The Log Book: Connecticut’s Slave Ships and Human Memory. What a shocking revelation that Ct history and wealth were so connected to the evils of slavery. Everyone needs to read this!,

Wow, wish I'd heard her, too. Thanks for raising up the other title, Kathleen.
“Former warehouse”… chilling. Thanks for introducing us to this book, Kathy!
You're welcome! Chilling, indeed.
