Unearthing the Past: The Legacy of Slavery and Stories of Resilience
As Black History Month begins, we reflect on one of the darkest chapters in American history: the transatlantic slave trade and its enduring legacy. For over 400 years, millions of Africans were forcibly brought to the Americas, enduring unimaginable brutality. Yet even in the face of oppression, enslaved individuals resisted through acts of courage, cultural preservation, and community-building. Explore firsthand accounts that reveal both the horrors of slavery and the unyielding spirit of those who survived.
Our library’s collection also includes documentaries. Each offers critical insights into slavery’s economic and social impacts.
