In the News San Francisco Chronicle: "Rescued Rosa Parks house due to return to America" The house where Rosa Parks lived after sparking the Montgomery bus boycott was on a demolition list in Detroit until it was saved by Parks' niece and a Berlin-based artist, who moved it to Germany and reassembled it in his yard, piece by piece. Beyond the Center Friday, November 10, 2017 What I Am Thinking About Now: Capital through Slavery is a history of how U.S. settler slavery shaped these movements between the United States and the British Empire and, in the process, was central to the making of the mid-nineteenth century global economy. Capital through Slavery further traces-- from India’s North-Western Provinces, to Queensland, Australia, to British Honduras-- U.S. slaveholders’ significance to imperial projects of territorial land-grabbing on a global scale. This talk will also address the contemporary significance of writing about the historical critique of capital and the critical study of race together. RSVP to csrea@brown.edu. Snacks and caffeine will be provided. *If you would like to submit a poster for advertisement in a future CSSJ newsletter please email slaveryjustice@brown.edu, using “Ad for the next newsletter” in the subject line.
