Why are Harvard’s slavery researchers quitting or being fired? The school’s $100m project to examine its slave ownership in Antigua is mired with controversy as academics allege obstruction

'Unsigned and neglected': These artworks are by women – but men got the credit For centuries, The Triumph of Bacchus was misattributed then hidden – now it is at the centre of a major exhibition. Here are five groundbreaking artworks wrongly attributed to men.

Plantation weddings and pre-civil war fashion: the film that critiques the historical fantasy of Natchez A documentary about Mississippi examines competing forces: the nostalgic celebration of the old south and the refusal to sanitize the brutal history of enslavement

Sadly, this happens too often, even the Caribbean. Once, my group stopped at a Great House in Virginia, it was ordinary, but the slave quarters & torture apparatus was open but not promoted. I went not to view, but to bear witness, being of mixed heritage.
