Week Two

Our seminar readings for Week 2 are Slavery before Race: Europeans, Africans, and Indians at Long Island’s Sylvester Manor Plantation, 1651-1884, by Katherine H. Hays; A People’s History of the Supreme Court: The Men and Women Whose Cases and Decisions Have Shaped Our Constitution, by Peter Irons; Intro-Ch 1.

Don’t forget we’re having a potluck at the Organic Farm (campus map) on Thursday starting at noon. Think about what you want to bring to share – entree (protein), salad, bread, snacks, dessert, drinks. There is a kitchen to refrigerate, warm and bake stuff.

We will hold small group discussions and reading seminars at some point during the potluck.
