In this groundbreaking account, journalist, author, and professor Rachel L. Swarns follows one family through nearly two centuries of indentured servitude and enslavement to uncover the harrowing origin story of the Catholic Church in the United States. Through the saga of the Mahoney family, Swarns illustrates how the Church relied on slave labor and slave sales to sustain its operations and to help finance its expansion." --Amazon.com. 610 20 $a Georgetown University $x History. 610 20 $a Jesuits $z United States $x History. 610 20 $a Catholic Church $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States. 650 0 $a Reconciliation. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Slavery. $2 bisacsh. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 20 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010252.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417021001.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044819.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240409011458.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025612.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240302013446.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012125.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20240118010741.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20240118010046.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20231219010456.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20231212011147.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014717.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20231128010401.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20231003011413.0 952 $l TZPC572 $d 20230908011821.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230902013938.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230902012948.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230713113825.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230706010620.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230701010035.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D707CEA17D411EEB984481F40ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
