The Rush for Black Diamonds
Join author and BHCC Professor George Walters-Sleyon as he shares on the topic of his latest book The Rush for Black Diamonds, Volume One. It explores the Transatlantic slave trade and its mutation into chattel slavery focusing on the involvement of two prominent Enlightenment philosophers: British philosopher, John Locke and President Thomas Jefferson, both slave traders and slave masters. Used as a metaphor, Black Diamonds captures the exploration of Western nations’ rush for Black people across the Atlantic Ocean to be used as economic units and chattel property.
