How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America
by Clint Smith
Description
In this powerful work of historical inquiry, the author visits plantations, prisons, museums, and other sites across the United States to examine how the history of slavery is preserved, interpreted, and remembered. Through conversations, personal reflection, and meticulous research, he reveals the enduring legacies of enslavement and the ways public memory shapes ideas about race, identity, and justice. Both intimate and wide-ranging, the book invites readers to confront the nation’s past with honesty and consider how that history continues to influence its present.
