[Vision2020] Palouse Academics Speak Out

[Nick Gier]

Greetings:

This has been the most exhausting but enjoyable petition drive I've ever 
managed.  Virtually no one was on either campus, so I essentially did home 
visits of those that were in town during vacation time.  I had great 
conversations (sometimes up to an hour) and I want to thank many people for 
their hospitality and support.

We, the undersigned Palouse academics, strongly condemn the use of authors' 
words without proper attribution.  This petition is in specific reference 
to Douglas Wilson's and Steve Wilkins' booklet Southern Slavery As It Was 
(Canon Press, 1996), in which many passages appear to have been copied from 
Robert William Fogel's and Stanley L. Engerman's book Time on the Cross: 
The Economics of American Negro Slavery (Little & Brown, 1974).
