Join us for a free public talk brought to you by R. Charles Weller and Humanities Washington.Since colonial times, religious and political divides have existed over how we talk about American slavery. From the New York Times’s 1619 Project to the Trump administration’s 1776 Report, competing visions of race and slavery embody long-standing tensions between critiquing and celebrating America’s history.
In this talk, explore the ongoing debates about the history of slavery. Hear about the modern tensions in education, politics, religion, and culture that reach beyond the classroom into the public domain, revealing how struggles over historical memory remain central to America’s fractured civic life and national identity.
