After financing their early endeavors in the nascent US with slave labor, the Jesuits and Georgetown University sold a group of 272 enslaved people in 1838 to keep the university afloat. Focusing on one of the families impacted, this book follows these actions and their impacts. I‘m rather embarrassed that when I got my masters there about 25 years ago, I knew nothing about this. I‘m glad I know now.

BarbaraBB Clever choice! I struggle with this one and my shelves are of no help! 4mo
tpixie Wow what an interesting and difficult read. Unfortunately, the world is made of a lot of bad history. Hopefully less and less with time 🩷 4mo
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraBB I found a couple other options. Any author named Hannah (Hannah Kent comes to mind). Then there‘s a book named Eve (authors with this name, too) I was going to use but I got to this one first. 4mo
Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution
BarbaraBB That‘s clever, to use the author‘s name! I didn‘t think of that and will now visit my shelves again! Thanks ❤️ 4mo
