Slavery and Freedom in Savannah is a richly illustrated, accessibly written book modeled on the very successful Slavery in New York, a volume Leslie M. Harris coedited with Ira Berlin. Here Harris and Daina Ramey Berry have collected a variety of perspectives on slavery, emancipation, and black life in Savannah from the city's founding to the early twentieth century. Written by leading historians of Savannah, Georgia, and the South, the volume includes a mix of longer thematic essays and shorter sidebars focusing on individual people, events, and places.

The story of slavery in Savannah may seem to be an outlier, given how strongly most people associate slavery with rural plantations. But as Harris, Berry, and the other contributors point out, urban slavery was instrumental to the slave-based economy of North America. Ports like Savannah served as both an entry point for slaves and as a point of departure for goods produced by slave labor in the hinterlands. Moreover, Savannah's connection to slavery was not simply abstract. The system of slavery as experienced by African Americans and enforced by whites influenced the very shape of the city, including the building of its infrastructure, the legal system created to support it, and the economic life of the city and its rural surroundings. Slavery and Freedom in Savannah restores the urban African American population and the urban context of slavery, Civil War, and emancipation to its rightful place, and it deepens our understanding of the economic, social, and political fabric of the U.S. South.

This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. This volume is published in cooperation with Savannah's Telfair Museum and draws upon its expertise and collections, including Telfair's Owens-Thomas House. As part of their ongoing efforts to document the lives and labors of the African Americans--enslaved and free--who built and worked at the house, this volume also explores the Owens, Thomas, and Telfair families and the ways in which their ownership of slaves was foundational to their wealth and worldview.

Favorite SPF
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This is the only sunscreen my family and I use now. We’re really sensitive to heavily fragranced sunscreens, so finding one that’s fragrance-free and still works well has been important for us. I like that it sprays on easily, feels lightweight, and doesn’t leave us feeling overly greasy or sticky afterward. It’s become our go-to for beach days, travel, sports, and everyday sun protection. I also appreciate the cleaner ingredient profile and that it’s vegan and dermatologist tested. A lot of sunscreens tend to irritate my skin or give me headaches from the strong scent, but this one has worked really well for our family without those issues. Simple, effective, and one of those products we consistently repurchase year after year.

It works well, but it’s expensive and greasy
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
As far as sun protection goes, this has worked perfectly for my family. Spray it on, blend it in, good to go. No sunburn. There are a few annoying things about it though. The price is incredibly high, imo. It is unscented, which is rare for sunscreen, but it smells like alcohol when wet. Also, this stuff is oily. It makes everything it touches greasy looking (hair, clothes, hands…) I like this overall for an alternative to thick mineral sunscreens. It’s pretty convenient.

Great for sensitive skin
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have extremely sensitive skin and recently found out my skin hates the sun due to my autoimmune issues. This sunscreen doesn't break my skin out, keeps me from getting sunburnt and doesn't have a bunch of fragrance. This travel size has been perfect for throwing in my bag for a day at the baseball park or beach. This is a non greasy and no whitecast spray that has a high spf too. I highly recommend it.
