As an "interactive documentary" and teaching tool, People Not Property: Stories of Slavery in the Colonial North describes the history of Northern colonial enslavement. The horrific history of slavery is often focused on the South, and, as this project highlights, "erasing northern slavery from textbooks compounded the injustice." Produced by Historic Hudson Valley, a New York-based nonprofit organization, this project provides an important platform for education and reflection. The highly interactive resource provides a social, legal, political, economic, and historical framework through which users can better understand colonial labor systems and "the difficult realities of enslaved life." The resource is divided into four chapters: Defining Slavery, Being Enslaved, Choosing Resistance, and Pursuing Justice. People Not Property also includes several supplementary tools (e.g., a chronological map, Bibliography, Glossary, and classroom materials). Funding for the project was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the New York State Council on the Arts, and ArtsWestchester.
