David Charles Mills, author of Unholy: The Slaves Bible, will give two public lectures at Vanderbilt University, Wednesday, Oct. 14, at the Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center.
Mills’ book explores a relatively unknown work – a more than 200-year-old Bible planned, prepared and published in London for the purpose of convincing slaves in the British West Indies that their status was ordained by God.
A noon lecture will be preceded by a reception at 11:30 a.m. Mills’ second talk will be held at 6 p.m., preceded by a 5:30 p.m. reception. A question and answer session will follow both lectures.
