Coming Up at the CSSJ No Images? Click here CSSJ Newsletter Coming Up: CSSJ Events Friday, May 12, 2017 Please join us for upcoming talk with Wendy Warren, author of New England Bound: Slavery and Colonization in Early America. Warren reconfigures colonial history by sharing how New England’s economy derived its vitality from the profusion of slave-trading ships coursing through its ports. This event is cosponsored by the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice, the Rhode Island Middle Passage Ceremonies & Port Marker Project, the John Carter Brown Library, the Swearer Center for Public Service, and the Department of History at Brown University. To attend please RSVP here. Beyond the Center Slavery's Past Ten years ago, the Brown University Committee on Slavery & Justice issued its landmark report, drawing a national response that continues to reverberate throughout higher education. To mark this occasion and reflect on the broader significance of Brown’s efforts to grapple with the full weight of its institutional history, the Brown Club of Washington, D.C. is thrilled to sponsor a timely panel discussion on Tuesday, May 16th. Find out more and RSVP here. *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.
