Barbados, now a republic, takes on the challenge to rebrand its image from being the "Barbados Model," a "plantation society," the "culture hearth" of the British colonial era. Assets reposed on the island will inform this generation through disclosure to all, including some who were enriched on the island. Proud stewards of a history that touched many.

Coming up THURSDAY, March 18 at 6:00:
Carolina Lowcountry and Atlantic World Program, College of Charleston and the Department of History - College of Charleston will feature a talk by Lorri Glover, author of "Eliza Lucas Pinckney," the enthralling story of an innovative, highly regarded, and successful woman plantation owner during the Revolutionary era. Tracing her extraordinary journey and drawing on the vast written records she left behind, this engaging biography offers a rare woman’s first-person perspective into the tumultuous years leading up to and through the Revolutionary War and unsettles many common assumptions regarding the place and power of women in the eighteenth century. Lorri Glover is the John Francis Bannon Endowed Chair in the Department of History at Saint Louis University.

I have been trying to collect stories of family's oral histories of slavery.... With the passing of each older person, stories of family members and events of the past are lost.... Where should I start to research my project ??
