A map of American slavery
The NYTimes has a fascinating interactive map up that is based on a map drawn from the 1860 census, the last time the US counted the slave population. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. We have never, as a country, embarked on a truth and reconciliation process in the aftermath of slavery, let alone taken the issue of reparations seriously. Perhaps this year we could begin to do so?
