The Afrolumens Project exists
to promote the collection, study and interpretation of data relating
to African American slavery and freedom in Central Pennsylvania,
and is dedicated to the
idea that all Pennsylvania residents share a common history regardless
of race, belief or gender. The focus of this website is on the historical
period that begins with European colonization and African slavery
in Pennsylvania, and ends with the American Civil War. In addition
to being a repository and
interpreter
of historical
data, the
Afrolumens Project seeks
to facilitate communication among scholars, educators and researchers
by making the collection accessible
on this Website without cost, to everyone interested. |
