SUMMARY:The 2026 Thomas Jefferson Foundation Distinguished Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The University of Virginia Library with Thomas Jefferson's 
 Monticello is thrilled to present the 2026 Thomas Jefferson Foundation 
 Distinguished Lecture "How Do You Remember the Days of Slavery?: A 
 screening and discussion" with Dr. Vincent Brown\, Charles Warren Professor 
 of American History\, Harvard University.\n\nRegister here\n\nJoin us for a 
 20-minute documentary following Professor Vincent Brown\, as he travels to 
 Jamaica at the invitation of the Jamaican Ministry of Culture\, to speak at 
 the island’s second annual Chief Takyi Day in St Mary Parish. The little 
 explored history of Chief Takyi has long fascinated Professor Brown. In 
 2020\, after more than a decade of dedicated research across multiple 
 continents\, he published his award-winning book\, Tacky’s Revolt: The 
 Story of an Atlantic Slave War\, shedding crucial light on the brutally 
 suppressed revolt which paved the road to abolition.\n\nVincent Brown is 
 Charles Warren Professor of American History\, Professor of African and 
 African-American Studies\, and Founding Director of the History Design 
 Studio at Harvard University. His research\, writing\, teaching\, and media 
 pursuits are focused on the political dimensions of cultural practice in 
 the African Diaspora\, with a particular emphasis on the early modern 
 Atlantic world. A native of Southern California\, he was educated at the 
 University of California\, San Diego\, and received his PhD in History from 
 Duke University\, where he also trained in the theory and craft of film and 
 video making. He has published two prize-winning books about the history of 
 slavery:  The Reaper’s Garden: Death and Power in the World of Atlantic 
 Slavery (2008) and  Tacky’s Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War 
 (2020). A co-founder of  Timestamp Media\, which explores the history that 
 connects people and places across the world\, Brown recently appeared in 
 Ken Burns’s PBS documentary The American Revolution.\n\nFor more details
