In this session, we will discuss: the interrelated histories of capitalism and slavery, how the creation of the plantation system became the engine for capitalism, both the in U.S. and the Caribbean, the relationship between slavery and the development of race, the history of resistance from enslaved peoples, and the ways all this continues to shape our world today.

The session will be led by Joshua L of the Metro DC DSA Political Education Working Group.
