Description
A new historical anthology from the Schomburg Center, curated by Michelle D. Commander, brings to light the untold stories of Black people's agency and liberation in America from transatlantic slavery to Reconstruction. This collection makes the case for focusing on the histories of Black individuals as architects of their own lives and ultimate freedom, rather than simply being subjects of historical accounts. By drawing on the Schomburg Center's extensive holdings, including rare documents and first-person narratives, this anthology sheds new light on the everyday lives and activism of those who fought against slavery. The result is a dynamic discussion of slavery, rebellion, resistance, and anti-slavery protest in the United States, highlighting both well-known and lesser-known accounts.
