TROY, N.Y. â Douglas A. Blackmon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II, will be the featured speaker at a webinar to be hosted by the Justice Center of Rensselaer County on March 25 at 7 p.m. The event is part of the JCRCâs on-going work to address systemic racism.
Published in 2008, Slavery by Another Name documents the use of the justice system to conscript Black men into unpaid labor for white-owned enterprises for decades after the Civil War. Using original documents, this ground-breaking work traces the lives of specific individuals and families to shine a light on an unseen, troubling past. A documentary film based on the book attracted more than 5 million viewers to its first broadcasts on PBS and has been rebroadcast thousands of times since then.
