We have gone through the slave lists and identify the names of these individuals. We have tried to highlight those places that are distinctively african american, like the africanamerican cemetery that dates to the 1790s.

As a practicing physician sometimes still i am so aware of yalls good work and i think we should double your budget because i understand the impact that would have upon my patients.
