In \u003ci\u003eSlavery After Slavery, \u003c\/i\u003ehistorian Mary Frances Berry traces the stories behind individual cases from southern supreme courts to demonstrate how formerly enslaved families and their descendants were systemically injured through white supremacist practices, perpetuated by the legal system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy filling in the family trees of formerly enslaved people to their descendants, Berry documents the intergenerational harm they experienced. The resulting damage of trafficking Black children through apprenticeship laws has been a largely overlooked source of inequality, yet these cases provide specific examples of the kind of economic and physical harm Black families have endured. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSlavery After Slavery\u003c\/i\u003e tells individual stories, but the fates of their descendants tell our collective American story--contributing powerfully to a case for reparations and restorative justice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Mary Frances Berry\u003c\/b\u003e is the Geraldine R.
