UNESCO seeks to give impetus to scholarly work on slavery

New chairs urged to join alliance focusing on slavery

The Universities Studying Slavery - USS consortium consists of about 100 institutions of higher learning in the United States, Canada, Colombia, Scotland, Ireland and England, and aims to share best practices and guide principles as they engage in truth-telling educational projects focused on human bondage and the legacies of racism in their histories."
