Event Description

Slavery was abolished in Brazil on May 13, 1888, marking the official end of legal slavery in the Western hemisphere.

Join scholars Celso Thomas Castilho, Marcela Echeverri Muñoz, and Chernoh Sesay Jr. as they discuss controversies over the role of Indigenous and African enslaved peoples in the formation of new nations and governments throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Our panel will examine choices of the period regarding rights, liberties, and citizenship of formerly enslaved peoples, and how the repercussions of these decisions extend to the present day.
