Speakers_Julia Bolton Holloway e Catherine Adoyo
Moderator_Justin Randolph Thompson
For the sixth edition of Black History Month Florence this roundtable
conversation is presented as a continuation of the ongoing collaboration
with Julia Bolton Holloway on the Cimitero degli Inglesi as a site of
Florentine Abolitionist history. The capacity of historical narratives to
emerge from literary fiction and the layerings of figures and moments in
time will be addressed. Drawing its title from a book of the same name
that places Hiram Powers (buried at the cemetery) and his Greek Slave in
dialogue with the work of Edmonia Lewis.
