James Campbell - History of Slavery at Brown University

James T. Campbell, Associate Professor of American Civilization, Africana Studies and History at Brown University - Aired 1/5/07

New Englanders tend to think of their relationship to slavery as “the abolitionists”. But it was they, not the southerners, who made this “peculiar institution” into such a mainstay of American society when our country was first founded. After years of research, a committee at Brown University chaired by James Campbell has issued its report about slavery and its ties to Brown University. The report — along with a curriculum, videos, audio, and electronically archived source documents — can all be found here.
