		<description><![CDATA[One of our toughest challenges in presenting Traces of the Trade is to help audiences acknowledge the often-hidden complicity in slavery, not merely of our slave-trading family, but of all of New England (and, indeed, the entire nation).
Tonight, I&#8217;m attending a screening and discussion of the documentary in Concord, Massachusetts, hosted by the Drinking Gourd [...]]]></description>

This was fascinating for me to watch, as my own family&#8217;s powerful connection to slavery has taken up much of my time and energy over the last decade. Being a direct [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Slavery in New England was brutal and lasted, in its official form, for 150 years. Enslavement greatly enriched the colonists and, later, citizens of New England, and only died out gradually and fitfully.
This is the proposition of an op-ed appearing in tomorrow&#8217;s Boston Globe, entitled &#8220;New England’s scarlet ‘S’ for slavery,&#8221; in honor of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has been taking heat since yesterday for his remarks on the Senate floor comparing the opponents of health care reform to those who opposed ending slavery.
As I&#8217;ll explain below, I believe the criticism over Reid&#8217;s remarks is misplaced at best, and political gamesmanship at worst. However, I also think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written before about the movement in Rhode Island to remove the words &#8220;Providence Plantations&#8221; from the state&#8217;s name. Supporters argue that these words constitute an offensive reminder of the state&#8217;s, and the nation&#8217;s, history of slavery.
Last night, the R.I. state legislature approved the constitutional amendment which would change the state&#8217;s name. The measure will [...]]]></description>

Update: Governor Deval Patrick has commented that while he hasn&#8217;t read the bill, he agrees that &#8220;we have some unfinished work about some injustices that goes back generations.&#8221;
