Join us for this month’s FREE Afternoon Talk, Historical Responses to 12 Years a Slave. Defended in the pre-Civil War South as paternalistic, McQueen’s film unflinchingly portrays American plantation slavery as an unjust violent institution. Dr. Nini Rodgers (QUB historian and author of Ireland: Slavery and Anti-Slavery) will discuss the film and offer some historical perspectives. This event is FREE but ticketed.
