In 1838, a group of America’s most prominent Catholic priests sold 272 enslaved people to save their largest mission project, what is now Georgetown University. In this groundbreaking account, journalist, author, and professor Rachel L. Swarns follows one family through nearly two centuries of indentured servitude and enslavement to uncover the harrowing origin story of the Catholic Church in the United States. Through the saga of the Mahoney family, Swarns illustrates how the Church relied on slave labor and slave sales to sustain its operations and to help finance its expansion.

This history is a personal account of what my family (Patrick & Letty Blacklock-Hawkins (along with son Jackson 'Jack' Hawkins; Gabriel & Adelphia 'Delphy' West-Butler; Isaac Hawkins; and Ignatius 'Nace' and Bibianna 'Biby' Mahoney-Butler) endured during their enslaved by the Jesuits!
Love, love, the extensive history accounts. It's a stack of receipts so high there is NO WAY one can remain "sleep". The case for #WOKE
