Part Two: This Why We Come to Be Kin
Manage episode 419663681 series 3569801
We continue our conversation with Adolphus Armstrong of the Lowcountry DNA Project in this episode. We return once again to the issues of land, removal, heirs property, and exploited labor as those topics relate to Harris Neck and beyond. We also talk about the book The Half Has Never Been Told : Slavery And The Making Of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist and how the patterns of enslavers trafficking stolen African people across the country are seared into the DNA of Black folks today. We also talk about the fantastic podcast Tilling the Soil put out by the staff of the Whitney Plantation, a 200 acre former sugar plantation in Louisiana. You can contact Adolphus about the Lowcountry DNA project on Ujima Genealogy’s Facebook page if you think you have Coastal Georgia roots and want to learn more..
