Georgetown: Georgetown Slavery Archive Video: The Best Place to Start

Curated by ACT

This short film examines the effort by Georgetown students to secure passage of a student government referendum committing each undergraduate student to a new fee of $27.20. The fees would fund reparative justice initiatives in partnership with the descendants of the people enslaved and sold by the Jesuits in 1838. The film organizes an array of perspectives on the referendum and documents the historic vote and outcome. [16:21]
