User:The Red River Sankofa Project/sandbox

The Original Red River Sankofa Project was started in 2004 as a personal journey towards researching African Americans ancestors in NW Louisiana near the Red River with an emphasis on recording historical yet abandoned, African American burial grounds. North West Louisiana, a rather remote, but bountiful area along the upper Red River of Louisiana has long been forgotten in historical text therefore the purpose of this project shines a light on underreported history of the many African American communities that established the area starting before Emancipation Proclamation until recent times.
