- Description
- Site created in the framework of an educational initiative of New York Life Insurance Co., which is also sponsoring a 4-part TV series on the history of American slavery. Provides resources for teaching slavery to middle and high-school students. – No information about the creators and maintainers of the site is available. While the authors of essays and lesson plans are identified by name and in part by institutional affiliation, the criteria for the selection of the material remain unclear. Contributors are paid. – The site includes an Encyclopedia of American Slavery with some 500 brief entries, but the editors, editorial plan and policy, and the contributors are not indicated. – Citations of the sources for some of the primary material are missing. — New York Life is one of several companies that have (thus far unsuccessfully) been sued for compensation by descendants of antebellum slaves. For more information, consult the Slave Era Insurance Registry (California Department of Insurance), the Business & Human Rights Resource Center, and news coverage. The site claims to be endorsed by the National Alliance of Black School Educators.
