About This Exhibit
This digital exhibit contains primary and secondary sources related to Furman's Legacy of Slavery Digital Collection, as as identified by the work of the Task Force on Slavery and Justice in 2017-2018. In a similar fashion to the Seeking Abraham Report and the accompanying physical exhibition held from August, 2018 to February, 2019, this digital exhibit invites our campus community and the general public to pose new historical questions that would lead to a greater understanding of and reckoning with Furman University's legacy of slavery.
