The Brown University Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice intended that its 2006 report on the University's historical entanglement with racial slavery be released publicly, in print and electronically. It was to be circulated widely among Brown students, academic and non-academic staff, alumni and across Rhode Island and the United States.
In keeping with the charge both “to tell the truth in all its complexity” and to share that knowledge widely, Brown has released the Report of the Brown University Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice in multiple formats to reach the broadest possible audience for the greatest possible ongoing impact.
