Please join us for an enlightening conversation about Amherst College’s relationship to slavery. This talk will focus on Amherst students, faculty members, and trustees who promoted the idea that emancipation should be combined with expatriation to Africa and other locations.

Sponsored by the Steering Committee on Reckoning with the Racial History of Amherst College and the Departments of Black Studies and History.
