Greetings.
This week in class we have been discussing early conceptions of slavery in the American colonies. We explored the connections between biological Blackness, laws, and establishing 'civil' societies. We also explored the origins of our modern concepts of slavery. And how these origins relate to our understanding of African Americans and associated studies.

What conclusions did you draw from the readings, class discussions, previous knowledge and independent research?
