A public lecture by historian Ira Berlin will take place 6 p.m. Wednesday, February 29, at Tulane's Freeman Auditorium in the Woldenberg Art Center. Berlin will discuss "Atlantic Creoles in the Lower Mississippi Valley: Slavery's Long Evolution."
Berlin is Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland and the award-winning author of Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in Mainland North America and, most recently, The Making of African America: The Four Great Migrations.
His talk kicks off the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South's Sylvia R. Frey Lecture Series and caps off Tulane's inaugural Graduate Student Conference on the Global Gulf.
