Slavery and Freedom in Savannah is a richly illustrated, accessibly written book modeled on the very successful Slavery in New York, a volume Leslie M. Harris coedited with Ira Berlin. Here Harris and Daina Ramey Berry have collected a variety of perspectives on slavery, emancipation, and black life in Savannah from the city's founding to the early twentieth century. Written by leading historians of Savannah, Georgia, and the South, the volume includes a mix of longer thematic essays and shorter sidebars focusing on individual people, events, and places.

The story of slavery in Savannah may seem to be an outlier, given how strongly most people associate slavery with rural plantations. But as Harris, Berry, and the other contributors point out, urban slavery was instrumental to the slave-based economy of North America. Ports like Savannah served as both an entry point for slaves and as a point of departure for goods produced by slave labor in the hinterlands. Moreover, Savannah's connection to slavery was not simply abstract. The system of slavery as experienced by African Americans and enforced by whites influenced the very shape of the city, including the building of its infrastructure, the legal system created to support it, and the economic life of the city and its rural surroundings. Slavery and Freedom in Savannah restores the urban African American population and the urban context of slavery, Civil War, and emancipation to its rightful place, and it deepens our understanding of the economic, social, and political fabric of the U.S. South.

This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. This volume is published in cooperation with Savannah's Telfair Museum and draws upon its expertise and collections, including Telfair's Owens-Thomas House. As part of their ongoing efforts to document the lives and labors of the African Americans--enslaved and free--who built and worked at the house, this volume also explores the Owens, Thomas, and Telfair families and the ways in which their ownership of slaves was foundational to their wealth and worldview.

Gentle and Effective Daily Lotion for Baby
We’ve been using Eucerin Baby Body Lotion on our son every day, and it’s been very good. It keeps his skin soft, hydrated, and protected, even in the hot and humid southern weather. It absorbs quickly and isn't greasy. One of the best parts is how gentle it is, we apply it to his whole body, including his face, and even if it gets near his eyes or mouth, he doesn’t fuss or cry. It’s also pediatrician-recommended and fragrance-free, which is always a giant plus. We’ve had zero issues with irritation or dryness since switching to this, and we’ll definitely keep it as part of our daily routine. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a safe, effective, and affordable baby lotion.

Really good baby lotion
Recently purchased this, I was skeptical given that I’ve never used river in brand on any of my babies skin, I tried so many different baby lotions (unscented & for sensitive skin) and this one so far has been working great! It isn’t too greasy and my baby’s skin is definitely improving

Works great for dry skin!
I stumbled across this product when looking for a new lotion for my 2 month olds super dry skin. I tried several lotions until finally this one worked. It is fragrance free which is a huge plus. It was vent gentle on my babies skin and helped with her dry skin fairly quick. This is a staple in our nighttime routine now! Only thing I do not love about it, is that it is a little thin/liquidly which I personally don't like. Overall, great product and would re buy!

Amazing for sensitive babies
This lotion is amazing!! My baby girl has extremely sensitive skin nothing worked for her and other well known brands kept creating irritation for her. Her pediatrician recommended this brand and it truly soothes her skin with no irritation, moistures beautifully all day long and has a light refreshing scent! It’s a must have for babies that are extra sensitive! Pairs well with the body wash as well.
