RE: "The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Emancipation"
Here's another point of view from a descendant of slaveholders.
"That was a long time ago, and everything has changed, people say. But the poet Claudia Rankine describes memory like this, in her book “Citizen,” published last fall: 'The world is wrong. You can’t put the past behind you. It’s buried in you; it’s turned your flesh into its own cupboard. Not everything remembered is useful, but it all comes from the world to be stored in you.'" http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/15/opinio...egion&_r=0 |
