Join Dr. Brooke Newman for a riveting discussion of her groundbreaking new book, The Crown’s Silence, which exposes the British monarchy’s deep entanglement in the transatlantic slave trade and colonial slavery. Spanning four centuries, from the Tudors to Queen Victoria, Dr. Newman traces how successive monarchs, and the institution of the monarchy itself, invested in, profited from, and legitimized an Atlantic empire built on human bondage. Drawing on extensive archival research, she reveals the extent to which royal power and wealth were intertwined with slavery’s expansion, and how the Crown’s silence has shaped public memory to this day.
