What are the ethics around writing historical figures? | The Write Project

The world is changing. What was considered acceptable twenty, ten, even five years ago is always in flux today. What does that mean for using historical figures in our work? Eight authors from a spectrum of the writing world weigh in. Originally broadcast on December 23, 2024 on CHMR 93.5 FM in St. John"s, and on other great stations across the country.  Check out As Loved Our Fathers, the latest book from Write Project host Matthew LeDrew: https://amzn.to/3HB7BAB It's a hunt for the Holy Grail taken on by an American Anthropologist and a Newfoundland History professor that unveils hidden secrets within Newfoundland history!
