To supplement Professor Hall's lecture at the Driskell Center Colloquium
of October 14th, this presentation will discuss the _Louisiana Slave
Database_ and how it was used to solve questions about the Igbo in the
Americas. The reading is another selection from her book manuscript,

presentation will be available to discuss the creation of historical
