Words for 2020, Watch Night, & the History of New Year's Day
History Shows Us - Un pódcast de Lettie Gore
Categorías:
Happy New Year! In this first episode of 2020, and season 3, I discuss what New Year's Eve and Day meant for enslaved people and why this grim history puts things into perspective. Knowing this history, and the separation of families on a day we now celebrate joyfully, is important when viewing what is currently happening in our country. I also share my two words for this year and why I chose them.
Harriet Jacobs book I mention in this episode: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
