On These Grounds: Slavery and the University is a national project that spans multiple colleges and universities. The project aims to create a “new understanding of the lived reality of bondage at these institutions of higher education” by creating a common approach to documenting, describing, and organizing data derived from the schools’ archives. Panelists will discuss On These Grounds work at UNC-Chapel Hill and Hampden-Sydney College.
