Textual Analysis Workshop with Professor Marco McWilliams

Duration 27:35

Professor Marco McWilliams guides educators through a textual analysis of primary sources, including a reading from the 1703 Rhode Island General Assembly. McWilliams addresses Rhode Island's civic genealogy by contextualizing the ways in which institutionalized legal, economic, and social power sought to circumscribe the lives of Black Rhode Islanders.
