- Summary
- Renowned photographic historian, Deborah Willis, and historian of slavery, Barbara Krauthamer, discuss their book "Envisioning Empancipation." In their pioneering book, they amassed nearly 150 photographs from the antebellum days of the 1850s through the New Deal era of the 1930s. The images in the book challenge perceptions of slavery. They show not only what the subjects emphasized about themselves but also the ways Americans of all colors and genders opposed slavery and marked its end.
