Another great resource is the online exhibition “In Pursuit of Freedom” that followed the in-the-gallery exhibition at the Brooklyn Historical Society which details the history of slavery and abolitionism in Brooklyn.

I learned tons from it.

Before this morning's keynote by Charmaine Nelson on "Grappling with the colonial archive," I was reading the front section of the Sunday New York Times as I ate my breakfast. The New York City pages included an article about a "stealth sticker campaign to expose New York's history of slavery."
