This event is sponsored by the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies, UW Department of History, and the Simpson Center for the Humanities. Jung recently sat with UW News to discuss this book. Wednesday, May 11: The 2022 Stephanie M.H. Camp Lecture featuring Caleb McDaniel This year?s Stephanie M.H. Camp Lecture will take place on Wednesday, May 11 at 3:30 p.m. in Communications 120 and will also be available as a livestream. Caleb McDaniel, Professor of History, Rice University, will present ?A Case of Reparations? A True Story of Slavery and Restitution? based on his 2020 Pulitzer Prize winning book Sweet Taste of Liberty: A True Story of Slavery and Restitution in America. McDaniel?s talk will tell the story of Henrietta Wood, a formerly enslaved woman who, in the twilight of Reconstruction, won the largest known sum ever awarded by a U.S. court in restitution for slavery. How did she survive slavery, twice, and hold a powerful former enslaver to account? Where does her story fit in the longer history of reparations claims? And what does it tell us about debates over slavery, emancipation, and reparations today? The Stephanie M.H. Camp Lecture is co-sponsored by the UW Department of History, UW Libraries, the Simpson Center for the Humanities, UW Department of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies, and UW African Studies Program. It was established to honor the memory of our beloved colleague, Stephanie M.H. Camp, who was the Donald W. Logan Family Endowed Chair in American History and the author of the award-winning book Closer to Freedom: Enslaved Women and Everyday Resistance in the Plantation South (2004). Her work remains a powerful influence on the fields of race, gender, and slavery in and beyond American history. This lecture is also made possible by generous contributions to the Stephanie M.H. Camp Lecture Fund for the History of Race and Gender. To register for the livestream of this talk, visit events.uw.edu/camp2022.
