THE GRIMKES: The Legacy of Slavery in an American Family
Greenidge reclaims the Black Grimkes as complex, conflicted individuals shadowed by their origins. Most strikingly, she indicts the abolitionist white Grimke sisters for their racial paternalism. They could envision the end of slavery, but they could not imagine Black equality, an emblem of the limits of progressive white racial politics. Photos.
