For adults.
Dr. Mark Auslander's new book, The Accidental Slaveowner, explores one of the biggest controversies in Georgia history centering on the relationship between Methodist Bishop James Osgood Andrew and his slave known as Kitty. Did she refuse her freedom because she was loyal to him or because she was his coerced lover who had no choice? This 19th century issue is examined by Professor Auslander, who finds the truth behind the myths opens paths to racial reconciliation, justice and healing. Books will be for sale at his free talk.
