'Last Seen' tells how ads helped formerly enslaved people find family
from On The Record · host WYPR 88.1FM
The ads showed up in Black run newspapers for decades after the Civil War — urgent descriptions of loved ones sold away. We talk to history professor Judith Giesberg, who compiled an archive, and now a book: Last Seen: The Enduring Search by Formerly Enslaved People to Find Their Lost Families. Giesberg will be speaking at the downtown Pratt Library Mon. Feb. 10 at 7pm.
