Beginning in his own hometown of New Orleans, Smith leads the reader through an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks - those that are honest about the past and those that are not - that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation's collective history, and ourselves."--cProvided by publisher.10aSmith, ClintxTravelzSouthern States. 0aSlaveryzUnited StatesxHistory. 0aSlaveholderszUnited StatesxHistory. 0aAfrican AmericansxSocial conditionsxHistory. 0aHistoric siteszSouthern States. 0aPlantationszSouthern StatesxHistory. 0aSouthern StatesxRace relationsxHistory. 0aSouthern StatesxHistory, Local.
