We are thrilled to host historian Scott Spillman with his new book, Making Sense of Slavery, on Thursday, August 19 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore. Making Sense of Slavery is an essential history of the study of slavery in America, from the Revolutionary era to the 1619 Project, showing how these intellectual debates have shaped American public life. It’s a breathtaking survey of nearly two centuries of scholarship, rich in insights and surprises. The Washington Independent Review of Books calls the book “accessible, important, and engaging” — a much needed work to fill in the gaps of our understanding. Don’t miss this exciting program with Scott Spillman coming up soon!
