Notes

Excerpts:

"The African Diaspora Archaeology Newsletter is celebrating twenty-one years of scholarly activity. What began as a list-serve in 1994 has since hosted multiple formats and led the field in discourse on African Diaspora archaeology. In 2012 the then ADAN editor Christopher Fennell established the Journal for African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage and handed the ADAN to the current co-editors: Whitney Battle-Baptiste, Christopher Barton, and myself (Kelley Deetz)."

"I think America is starting to wake up. Alarms of racial violence and unjust verdicts have saturated the social media. These things are not new, but they have finally become news and worthy of note. The social fabric of this nation is twisting and tearing in new ways, but in similar directions. As a scholar and professor of Black history I am maddened by the chaos."
