How the Word Is Passed: Remembering Slavery and How It Shaped America

In the Epilogue to his book, How the Word Is Passed, Clint Smith writes:The history of slavery is the history of the United States.It was not peripheral to our founding; it was central to it. It is not irrelevant to our contemporary society; it created it.This history is in our soil, it is in our policies, and it must, too, be in our memories.One of the ways this foundational history enters our memories is through the classroom. That is why we are delighted How the Word Is Passed will be available in a YA edition.Join us for class with Clint Smith on August 25. He will be interviewed by Jesse Hagopian and Jessica Rucker.ASL interpretation and PD certificates will be provided. Twenty-five attendees, randomly selected, will receive a free copy of the book.
