Great show! I am a historian of prison labor and prisoners’ rights and have written a book on this subject, entitled We Are not Slaves: State Violence, Coerced labor, and Prisoners’ Rights in Postwar America (UNC, 2020). I am also the co-director of a group called Historians Against Slavery. Would you be interested in talking about this book and the historical context of prison labor and prisoners’ rights suits from the 1960s to today? I have done interviews with CNN, NPR, and MSNBC, but I’d like to reach today’s activists and be in dialogue with the wider Black community. Please contact me if you would like to do an interview or would like a free copy of the book. Thank you for all that you do.
