Professor Hawthorne in the Spotlight: Media Coverage Grows Around Enslaved.org

Kelly Smith

Professor Walter Hawthorne was featured in several local media interviews and national outlets regarding the latest data published by his Enslaved.org project:  

  • Interview with Michigan Public Stateside (beginning at 13:00 mark)
  • Interview with WILX 10
  • Story picked up by Associated Press
  • Story picked up by Axios 

When the project published its latest data, it expanded ancestry records of enslaved people, making their information available for discovery and download.  

Read the original story in MSUToday.
