Slavery by Another Name challenges one of America’s most cherished assumptions: the belief that slavery in the US ended with the Civil War. Based on the Pulitzer prize-winning book by Douglas Blackmon, this documentary tells the forgotten stories of both victims and perpetrators of forced labor that persisted well into the 20th century. Discussion after the film will be led by faculty Dr. Adele Norris from the University of Minnesota – Rochester.
This event is made possible by a grant from the Bridging Cultures initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities and with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History to encourage public conversations about the changing meanings of freedom and equality in America. Sponsored by Hennepin Technical College and the Brooklyn Park Diversity Team.
