It is the story of the Monticello plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former-plantation-turned-maximum-security-prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word is Passed illustrates how some of our country's most essential stories are hidden in plain view--whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth, or entire neighborhoods in downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women, and children has been deeply inprinted. Informed by scholarship and brought to life by the stories of people living today, Smith's debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and ingiht that offers a new undersatnding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be. -- $c From dust jacket. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Slaveholders $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Historic sites $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Plantations $z Southern States $x History. 651 0 $a Southern States $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a Southern States $x History, Local. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $x History. 600 10 $a Smith, Clint, $d 1988- $x Travel $z United States. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social conditions. 650 6 $a Esclavage $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0115854 650 6 $a ProprieÌtaires d'esclaves $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0142565 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $x Conditions sociales. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0071717 650 6 $a Lieux historiques $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407740 $z EÌtats-Unis (Sud) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407740 650 6 $a Plantations $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z EÌtats-Unis (Sud) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407740 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis (Sud) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0380212 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis (Sud) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379022 $x Histoire locale. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379022 650 6 $a Racisme $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0068873 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 7 $a HISTORY $x African American. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Black Studies (Global) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Discrimination. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x African American Studies. $x American $x African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a African Americans $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799698 650 7 $a African Americans $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799707 650 7 $a Discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894985 650 7 $a Ethnology $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916166 650 7 $a Historic sites. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957846 650 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958235 650 7 $a Minorities $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023238 650 7 $a Plantations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01065800 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a Slaveholders. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120418 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 sears 650 7 $a Racism $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a Discrimination. $2 sears 650 7 $a Slavery $z United States. $2 sears 655 0 $a History. 655 7 $a local histories. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300251993 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Local histories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Histoires locales. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001834 655 7 $a ReÌcits de voyages. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001117 776 08 $i Online version: $a Smith, Clint. $t How the word is passed. $b First edition. $d New York : Little, Brown and Company, 2021 $z 9780316628587 $w (OCoLC)1255713554 941 $a 2 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240112123250.0 $n 10 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20220815091053.0 $n 12 $p 1 LP, 1 CD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A12E83521C9A11ED95E43944153FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
