CLF 2022: Ashley's Sack with Tiya Miles and Shannon Eaves

Tiya Miles’ session, Ashley’s Sack, debuted on stage at the Charleston Literary Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, on Friday, November 11, 2022. The book, All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, A Black Family Keepsake, was the recipient of the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2021. It is the poignant story of one object’s capacity to symbolize the history of a family and the experience of slavery: a rough cotton sack containing basic essentials given by a mother to her young daughter before their enforced separation, then passed down through generations. She discusses “the tears of things” with Shannon Eaves, Assistant Professor of African American History at the College of Charleston. Tiya Miles is the Michael Garvey Professor of History at Harvard University. 00:00-3:16 Introduction 3:16-20:35 Speaker Presentation 20:35-52:34 Conversation 52:34-1:08:23 Audience Q&A 1:08:23-1:09:07 Conclusion
