In this 3-part Institute course, Dr. Terry Anne Scott will survey the struggles and accomplishments of people of African descent in the United States during the institution of slavery. While some attention will be paid to African origins, the three sessions in this series will analyze the historical path from importation through the Civil War and the process of freedom.
Lecture Three: Abolitionism will be the focus of this lecture. How did people work individually and collectively to resist the institution of slavery? What do their efforts teach us about coalition work today?
