Welcome to Contemporary Monuments to the Slave Past (CMSP), a digital repository of commemorative works related to the slave past (monuments, memorials, and sites of slavery). It focuses on three-dimensional objects and built environments. The term slave past covers the extended period of chattel slavery from the transatlantic slave trade and the Middle Passage to emancipation. Currently, the digital repository includes 116 commemorative works from West Africa, the Caribbean, Mexico, Brazil, Mexico, Europe, and the United States. As a public history site, CMSP highlights the ways in which artists and communities** are engaged in historical and visual conversations about how to talk about, acknowledge, remember, and memorialize the slave past.
