African American Archaeology

From Cheryl Harmon, January 17, 2006

This newsletter apparently stopped its online edition in Winter 1994. There are many more issues if you wind your way back. The last articles on this one are about a slave auction reenactment in Colonial Williamsburg (which also provides school educational feeds of its series from Williamsburg).

Did I ever tell you I have created an exhibit of Africans in America artifacts that I show? It started at the Department of Education about 2003 for multicultural day; I exhibited in the East Shore Library case this last summer for Juneteenth. If you are around, I have been invited to exhibit in Strawberry Square on February 22, from 12-1 for Revenue's Black History Month event.
