I am curious to know if anyone has ever tried to use
any of this type of information in a court case for
reparations? It seems that I heard somewhere that in
some of the wills, some of our ancestors were granted
property by their white actual "fathers", upon the
death of the plantation owner, but that, in many
cases, the siblings did not give it to them.

Colleen:
I have run into some offspring in my husband's family who were born "out of
wedlock". In some cases, the mother's were known and named and in other
cases they weren't named or not known. If I can substantiate the
connection, I link them to the natural parent and either an unnamed parent
or name the parent but don't create a marriage. A few of these children
remained close to family members, so I think it's important to include them
when I can.

As some of you may know, Ibrahima Sene of UCAD who is working on his Ph D in history, at UCAD, has received a WARA/WARC travel grant. David Robinson has graciously offered to send him correspondence proving his academic ties with MSU and inviting him to visit Michigan, and Ibrahima Seck has found him lodging in various places in Louisianna. He is now looking for a sort of "field advisor" in Louisianna. He is comparing state (governmental) repression in the old Louisianna Territory and in Senegal. Anyone
