Jim Luce Writes on Slavery, Abolition & Reparations

The 1860 U.S. Census lists slaves ‘owned’ by the author’s maternal great-grandfather in Frederick County, Maryland. Jim had nothing to do with his great-grandfather’s slavery, yet he believes he has everything to do with the proper response to slavery today: Reparations. (Photo: Slavery Museum. The church was built on top of an old whipping post. When slaves continued to show up, the priests took them in and built a community.)
