A Review of THE WEEPING TIME

Nov 16, 2017 | Memory

After ten years of working on this project, it is interesting to see it through the eyes of others. My thanks to Kritika Agarwal of the American Historical Association for a fresh take. Thankful for her foregrounding the descendants who are keeping the memory of this slave auction and their ancestors alive.

“Ties Once Broken: Researching the Families of a Single Slave Auction” by Kritika Agarwal for the American Historical Association’s Perspectives.
