Writing two hundred years after Prince Hall and other black Bostonians petitioned the Massachusetts General Court, Nathan Huggins argued that "however much black and white, slave and free seem to be polar opposites, we must see them not only as interdependent, but as having a common story and necessarily sharing the same fate" (Black Odyssey, 1977). This imperative to illuminate the shared history of slavery and freedom informs the Africans in America project. This ambitious enterprise, supported by substantive funding from government and corporate sponsors, includes a Web site, a six-hour public television series, and related materials. |
