Hi everyone-

In honor of Juneteeth, our very own Andrea Renner, our new Assistant Rare Map Librarian at the Center, posted a blog post focusing on Mapping Slavery and Emancipation below, highlight some of the maps from the David Rumsey Map Collection.

Please read, examine the maps and share as appropriate.

Thanks, Best, Salim
