Summary
This second session of Blackest History Month centers on questions of freedom and liberty. What conditions define freedom? How is freedom related to self-definition, both individually and collectively? As we continue exploring freedom, governance, and memory in the Semiquincentennial year of the United States, today’s session marks Frederick Douglass’ chosen birthday and the close of the original “Negro History Week.” Applying the Africana Studies Conceptual Categories Framework to struggles over Philadelphia’s President’s House Historical Site and related subjects, we examine internal and external intellectual warfare in a moment of accelerating U.S. imperial decline. The path forward depends on whether we choose freedom—or remain slaves without masters.
