Submitted by cawilson on Thu, 04/11/2024 - 12:11pmMeriam Library is proud to be a destination in the travelling exhibit for Book in Common author Clint Smith. In his book How the Word is Passed, Smith reckons with the history of slavery across America, as well as opens up a conversation about this underexplored topic in our collective history. Smith asserts that “our country is in a moment, at an inflection point, in which there is a willingness to more fully grapple with the legacy of slavery, and how it shaped the world we live in today.”
