The Library of Congress has new LCSH bulk downloads: https://id.loc.gov/download/
Among recent changes are revised subject headings related to slavery (e.g. "Slaves" -> "Enslaved persons", "Slave insurrections" -> "Slave rebellions", etc.)
I'm now processing those changes for The Online Books Page & Forward to Libraries. Some conversions (e.g. automated HathiTrust subject updates) will manifest in a few days, but those headings & relationships are now live in my core (manually edited) record set.
