Kerric Harvey's paper entitled “White Tribalism and Black Slavery in the American Capital:  Mapping the Geography of Fear in Washington, D.C. --  A Case Study in Urban Ethnography,” has been accepted for presentation at the British Museum in London, England as part of an academic conference on   “Anthropology in the World Initiative.” She’ll be talking about her on-going research in combining conventional and new media storytelling with an ethnographic method, in this case to challenge the long-standing perception of Washington, D.C. as minimal player in the American slave trade and as trade and as a “safe place” for pre-Civil War era free blacks. The June 2020 conference is co-sponsored by The British Museum and the Royal Anthropological Institute.
