About the Program
Journalists Anne Farrow, Joel Lang, and Jenifer Frank discuss their book, "Complicity: How the North Promoted, Prolonged, and Profited from Slavery." The book explores the lesser-known relationship that the North had with slavery during the 1800s, incuding the dependency on slavery to establish many well-known companies and educational institutions. The author documents how slavery helped in the creation of places like Tiffany & Co., Brown University, and Lehman Brothers financial institution.
