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.

Works, and no residue!
Style: SPF 50 (Pack of 2), Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I love that I can just use my FSA account to buy this. The sunscreen works well and does not irritate my kids sensitive skin. What I like the most is that it does not leave residue everywhere so I can do a quick spray on the kids every morning before daycare. I also spray my son's head because he has a very fair skin and does not wear a hat at daycare. It seems to be doing well by the pool too. Good value pack.

Must have sunscreen for kids!
Style: SPF 50 (Pack of 3), Size: 5.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This is our favorite sunscreen. It is easy to apply stays on and my kids do not get burned. I have a 9, 8 and 6 year-old we live in Florida and this is the only sunscreen we buy for their body. It does not cause any skin irritation.

A Nice Lip Moisturizer in or out of the Sun.
Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I like it. It smells and tastes good. Not a heavy fragrance like some sun blocking products. I don't spend much time in the sun, but I use this lip moisturizer everyday just in case.
