Anne Farrow, Joel Lang, and Jenifer Frank are veteran journalists
for The Hartford Courant, the country's oldest newspaper in
continuous publication. Farrow and Lang were the lead writers and
Frank was the editor of the special slavery issue published by
Northeast, the newspaper's Sunday magazine.
Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham is the Victor S. Thomas Professor of
History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard
University. She is co-editor with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., of
African American Lives.
As these Hartford Courant journalists show, slavery doesn't belong just to the South but to all of America. Rhode Island once led the country in the slave trade, for instance, and at one time a fifth of New York City's population were slaves. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
