Saidiya Hartman is a professor at Columbia University whose work explores the afterlife of slavery in modern American society. Through her meticulous research and narratives, she bears witness to lives, traumas and fleeting moments of beauty that historical archives have omitted or obscured.
This event is presented as part of the Black: Here and Now! Symposium.
The first 20 attendees will each receive a free copy of one of Hartman's recent books. A book signing will follow the talk.
