Oliver Laughland reports on Rachel L. Swarns' book The 272, which focuses on the 272 enslaved people the Jesuits of Maryland and D.C. sold downriver to south Louisiana to fund Georgetown University. As he notes, Swarns forces us to think about what this historical event means by focusing on the history of a single enslaved family, the Mahoneys.

So this afternoon, I leave the upstairs where I'm working from home and I head downstairs where my wife is working from home. She tells me she made reservations tonight at Ichiro, probably one of the nicest two restaurants in our littlish town. I was kind of surprised since it wasn't an occasion and that was the first I heard we'd be going out to dinner tonight. It was a great meal with some fun music. It was also just nice to treat ourselves for no reason at all. #Georgetown #Texas #Ichiro

I recently finished Rachel L. Swarn's The 272.

https://rachelswarns.com/books/?doing_wp_cron=1691616083.6371469497680664062500

The book is an expansion of her previous reporting for the New York Times about the sales of 272 enslaved people that financed an early expansion of #Georgetown University.
