About this event
Clint Smith’s #1 New York Times bestseller, praised as “important and timely,” examines how the legacy of slavery continues to shape American history, memory, and daily life. Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Smith guides readers through monuments and landmarks—both truthful and misleading—that reveal slavery’s deep imprint on the nation’s identity. Through stories of places like Monticello, the Whitney Plantation, Angola Prison, and Blandford Cemetery, he uncovers the hidden and often overlooked truths embedded in our landscapes and traditions. Blending scholarship with personal storytelling, this work offers a profound reflection on how confronting the past can foster understanding and hope for the future.
