Bernstein brings to life the story of William Freeman, a free Black man who in 1840 was forced into unpaid labor as an inmate of Auburn State Prison in New York. After his release, he murdered four members of a white family, as revenge for the theft of his labor. His trial saw the crystallization of a nefarious ideology-the idea that African Americans are inherently criminal-yet it also shaped Auburn as an important node in the long battle for Black freedom"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Freeman, William, $d 1824-1847 $v Trials, litigation, etc. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $z Auburn. $z Auburn. 610 20 $a Auburn Correctional Facility. 650 0 $a Prisoners $x History. $z Auburn $z Auburn $x History. 650 0 $a Insanity (Law) $z Auburn $z Auburn $x History. 650 0 $a Prisoners $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Prisons $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Prisons and race relations $z United States $x History. 650 6 $a ProceÌs (Meurtre) $z Auburn. $z Auburn. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $x Histoire. $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Prisons et relations raciales $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 600 17 $a Freeman, William, $d 1824-1847 $2 fast 610 27 $a Auburn Correctional Facility $2 fast 650 7 $a African Americans $x Civil rights $2 fast 650 7 $a Insanity (Law) $2 fast 650 7 $a Prisoners $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast 650 7 $a Prisons and race relations $2 fast 650 7 $a Prisons $x Law and legislation $2 fast 650 7 $a Trials (Murder) $2 fast 651 7 $a New York (State) $z Auburn $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 655 7 $a Trials, litigation, etc. $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD3E204A1D8011EFA6667B3325ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
