Princeton and Slavery: Reckoning with the University’s Past and Continuing the Investigation

The Princeton & Slavery Project changed the University’s understanding of its connections to America’s “peculiar institution” by unearthing and illustrating how the University both profited from and shaped the debate over human enslavement. This session, now to be held virtually, will review the history and major findings of the project, which can be viewed in its entirety online here: https://slavery.princeton.edu Following this, the two facilitators will open the floor to participants to ask questions as well as raise issues of their own interest as it relates to the project. We look forward to a wide-ranging, nuanced, and in-depth discussion.
