She unpacks the critical role slavery played in shaping America’s political, economic, and cultural foundations, as well as its global impact. Dr. Burton stresses why preserving and teaching this history, especially to our children, is essential at a time when powerful forces are working to erase it from classrooms, museums, and public memory.
