American Inheritance: A Conversation with Edward Larson

Members Free | Non-Members $10 | Free Livestream
Pulitzer Prize winning author Edward Larson joins us for a conversation on his new book American Inheritance: Liberty and Slavery in the Birth of a Nation, 1765-1795. Larson examines the role of Black Americans during the Revolutionary war and in the many debates over slavery and freedom, and he highlights the voices of Black Americans as the most persuasive in the urgency of liberty. He explores the fateful compromises over slavery that took place during the Constitutional Convention and their disastrous effects in the coming decades.
