History
How the Word Is Passed
By Clint Smith
About this book
Clint Smith visits places such as Monticello, a former plantation in Louisiana, and a prison built on plantation land. He listens to guides and visitors and compares the stories a site tells with the history it can leave out. The book shows how a tour, a monument, or a family memory can shape what people understand about slavery.
