In Response to: University History
As part of the ongoing Princeton and Slavery Project, a research project devoted to documenting the University’s involvement with the institution of slavery, I am interested in hearing from Princeton alums descended from slaveholders, slaves, or both. My freshman seminar in fall 2016 will be collecting stories from Princeton affiliates with family memories of slavery, and working with filmmaker Melvin McCray ’74 to capture these stories in audio and video form for inclusion on the project website.
I would be grateful to hear from anyone willing to share his or her family story at familymemory@princeton.edu.
