Professor of History at Columbia, and a familiar face from the Ken Burns Revolutionary War Documentary, Brown will discuss the 168 words Jefferson drafted holding George III accountable for slavery, and the founders' decision to strike them from the Declaration of Independence. We will explore how revolutionary ideals of liberty, natural rights, and human equality intersected with the institution of slavery.
