DESCRIPTION:This session was previously recorded.\n\nAn obsessive genealogi
 st and descendent of one of the most prominent Jewish families since the A
 merican Revolution\, Blanche Moses firmly believed her maternal ancestors 
 were Sephardic grandees. Yet she found herself at a dead end when it came 
 to her grandmother's maternal line. Using family heirlooms to unlock the m
 ystery of Moses's ancestors\, Once We Were Slaves overturns the reclusive 
 heiress's assumptions about her family history to reveal that her grandmot
 her and great-uncle\, Sarah and Isaac Brandon\, actually began their lives
  as poor Christian slaves in Barbados. Tracing the siblings' extraordinary
  journey throughout the Atlantic World\, Leibman examines artifacts they l
 eft behind in Barbados\, Suriname\, London\, Philadelphia\, and\, finally\
 , New York\, to show how Sarah and Isaac were able to transform themselves
  and their lives\, becoming free\, wealthy\, Jewish\, and--at times--white
 . While their affluence made them unusual\, their story mirrors that of th
 e largely forgotten population of mixed African and Jewish ancestry that c
 onstituted as much as ten percent of the Jewish communities in which the s
 iblings lived\, and sheds new light on the fluidity of race--as well as on
  the role of religion in racial shift--in the first half of the nineteenth
  century.\n\nSpeaker: Laura Arnold Leibman
