When you grow up in Newport, Rhode Island, you grow up around boats.
“Dad had a J/24 when I was born,” says Josh Parks, a 34-year-old lawyer and Newport native. “So, I started out on that.”
The young sailor went on to compete in dinghy racing in college, and later campaigned a trimaran around New England with his father. “I did a lot of sailing,” says Parks, who owned and raced a Hobie 16, Vanguard 15 and Laser-class racing dinghies.
But when Parks and his wife, Amy, a nonprofit and political consultant, started looking for their first “big” vessel, they had a powerboat in mind. “We wanted something to go cruising on,” says Parks. “I have plenty of sail racing opportunities, so the idea was to get something both of us would enjoy playing on. And, as a performance sailor, cruising sailboats hold no interest for me.”
On Wednesday, Feb. 24, the Africana Studies program hosted the second part of a four part roundtable series on the carceral state in Appalachia, with a focus on the historical roots of mass incarceration in the region that UT calls home.
The roundtable discussion was animated in large part by the fact that the 13th Amendment, enacted at the end of the Civil War, abolished slavery except as punishment for a crime.Â
This exception renders slavery still legal under the U.S. Constitution as a condition for convicted criminals and is the legal bedrock for the racialized American system of mass incarceration. Wednesdayâs event sought to trace the development of this system in Appalachia, a region that is often sidelined in this chapter of history.
