BitterSweet Blog
BitterSweet: Linked Through Slavery is a working group of bloggers who are members of CTTT. We call ourselves “linked descendants,” people who have a joint history in slavery – a pairing of a descendant of an enslaved person with a descendant of his or her slaveholder, who have found each other and who are in communication. We bring a passionate commitment to looking deeply at the truth of the history of enslavement at the heart of the founding of the United States, facing the pains and schisms embedded in that history and its present day legacy, seeking reconciliation, if possible, and supporting action to open eyes and hearts and to dismantle institutionalized racism.
