Thank you to @mbmuse who showed us records from @gtownlibrary about the enslaved people who belonged to the Jesuits in Maryland and Missouri. Being able to see and touch records we’ve studied on the @guslavery archive was a profound experience.

Nearly two centuries ago, the Jesuit priests who founded and ran what is now Georgetown University sold 272 people to keep the college afloat. Men. Women. Children. Babies. Many wept as they were loaded onto the ships. Three years ago, I told their story. nyti.ms/1qwGoor
