Earle, Eliza - History Revisited, Mar. 13, 2019
Paper description
This paper describes the author’s changing perception of her family’s past history, from childhood roots based on cherished family memories, to adolescent awakenings of unpleasant skeletons in the closet, to adult stifling of those unpleasant facts, and eventual reconciliation with the truth. It considers slavery in our past and continuing racism in the present day, and calls for reconciliation.
