Don't forget to register for the next Bloomsbury Lecture Series on June 13th by Professor Ana Lucia Araujo - historian and Professor of History at the historically black Howard University in Washington DC, United States. Titled 'Slavery, Memory, and Reparations after George Floyd and the COVID-19 Global Pandemic,' this lecture will revisit the long period that kept the past associated with Atlantic slavery invisible in the public space of the United States. Highlighting the rise of the public memory of slavery in the past thirty years, especially during the Obama Era, Araujo will also address the main transformations that led to the fall of pro-slavery monuments and the rise of a new wave of demands of financial and symbolic reparations for slavery in the summer 2020. Considering the protests that followed the assassination of George Floyd in the summer 2020, during the COVID-19 global pandemic as a turning point, this lecture seeks to address this period of change in order to understand where we are four years after these events.
