| Event: | FSS-14 COMPLICITY | | Date: | November 2nd, 2011.
| | Time: | 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM | | Category: | FSS11 | | Contact: | Bill Olds, Coordinator | "Complicity" is the title of a book about how the
North promoted, prolonged, and profited from slavery. It is considered an eye-opener for finger-pointing northerners who like to believe that slavery in America was strictly a Southern sin to which Yankees rarely yielded. The authors are Anne Farrow, Joel Lang, and Jennifer Frank, all of whom were reporters for the Hartford Courant at the time. They will speak about how the North profited from its well-kept secret dependence on slavery, and the lucrative triangle trade of molasses, rum, and slaves that linked the North with the West Indies and Africa.
