The Library of Virginia will present “The Insurance-Industrial Complex of Slavery,” a virtual talk by Virginia Humanities HBCU Fellow Michelle Oliver, a financial genealogist, preservation strategist and public history researcher. Slavery in the United States has most often been interpreted as a system of coerced labor and racial domination, but while these dimensions are essential, they do not fully account for the financial structures that sustained and normalized human commodification.
