REGISTER HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DHLouisiana... The Louisiana Slave Conspiracies Project (LSC) aims to make source materials from two slave conspiracies in 1791 and 1795 accessible to interested researchers. A collaborative multidisciplinary team, led by Professor Bryan Wagner in the UC Berkeley English Department, is developing an interactive digital archive of these materials. The focus of the project is on the testimonies taken from slaves and their allies in these conspiracies. The project involves transcribing, translating, tagging, and collating these testimonies, along with other archival documents related to the conspiracies, for the first time. The project is grounded in the aspirations and actions of the enslaved, as they are described in their own words. Closed Captioning provided by Zoom Live Audio Transcription
