Clint Smith travels across the United States, from New Orleans to Monticello and beyond, to investigate how the history of slavery continues to echo in American landscapes and memories. He visits sites that acknowledge the brutal past and those that obscure it, revealing a profound connection between the enslaved people's labor and the nation's foundations. This deeply personal and rigorously researched journey offers a vital reckoning with how we remember—and often forget—the pervasive legacy of slavery.
