2015 Sites of Memory Video Diaries: A Phantoms Pilot Project

How are histories of slavery and resistance commemorated, remembered, forgotten, erased, and interpreted in public spaces and places? Ten History students at Bath Spa University and Huron set out to address this research question by creating video diaries focused on a local place or object that serves as a “site of memory” for the history of slavery and resistance. Scroll down to see their research and read reflections on the project.
