Join the us for a conversation with Tamika Y. Nunley, award-winning social historian, Associate Professor of History at Cornell University, and Cary and Ann Maguire Chair in Ethics and American History at the Kluge Center.
Nunley will discuss her newest book, "The Demands of Justice: Enslaved Women, Capital Crime, & Clemency in Early Virginia." In it, she looks at cases of enslaved women charged by their owners with capital crimes, and the ways that even clemency could be a punishment for the accused.
This event can be viewed in person in room LJ-119 of the Library’s Thomas Jefferson Building, or virtually on Zoom.
