Our speaker for the September 12 Women’s Circle Breakfast is Carl Keyes, Associate Professor of History at Assumption College. His topic is “Selling Slavery: What Can We Learn from Newspaper Advertisements for Enslaved Men, Women and Children During the Colonial and Revolutionary Eras?” Drawing on an extensive archive of newspaper advertisements that promoted slaves for sale or offered rewards for capturing runaway slaves, Prof. Keyes will discuss the diverse experiences of enslaved men, women, and children in 18th century America. Some of those advertisements tell stories of exploitation and abuse, but others tell stories of resistance and survival. All of them testify to the prevalence of slavery in the thirteen colonies that became the United States, from New England to Georgia. Prof. Keyes is the Director of the Women’s Studies Program at Assumption College and earned his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University.
