How the Word Is Passed

by Clint Smith

Clint Smith travels across America, from New Orleans to Monticello, to explore how the brutal history of slavery continues to shape our present. He visits plantations, cemeteries, and prisons, revealing how different sites confront or obscure the painful legacy of enslaved people. This deeply researched and moving work invites readers to consider the stories hidden in plain sight and offers a new perspective on how we understand our nation's past and ourselves.
