James Campbell, Associate Professor of American Civilization, Africana Studies and History, who chaired the Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice, discusses the committees findings and entertains questions, comments, criticisms, and suggestions about its work. The committee was charged to investigate the Universitys historical relationship to slavery and the slave trade and to organize public programs that would help the Brown community reflect in a serious, sustained way about the complex historical, political, legal and moral questions that this history raises. The final report, presented in October 2006, is available online ( www.brown.edu ), along with an archive of historical documents and video excerpts of committee-sponsored programs. He spoke to the Brown Club of Georgia on January 31, 2007.
