I was happy to speak at the “Journey to Colonial Mississippi: An America250 Celebration” on October 1-3 at the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson, Mississippi. The event was hosted by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.

My topic was “Enslavement in Early Mississippi: People, Labor, and Travel on the Mississippi River.”
