vkn: Alt is on phone
keli1: I just finished at ASALH, that was interesting, but yes will be presenting at AAHGS
vkn: and how is the research coming? Is it family or academic or a bit of both?
keli1: how are you doing?
vkn: Managing but sometimes slow lol What was the crowd like for ASALH nd how was your presentation recd
keli1: As long as you are still moving you are doing well...
Atlanta: Are you pleased with how it went and what was your topic
keli1: Crowd I think was good, but just too many sessions, if you got more than 5-10 people in your session it was rare-I chaired one session and two of the presenters did not show...but all was well received Yes I was pleased with my session and the questions that followed
vkn: LOL making those first unlocking morning moves are difficult but then it all smooths out
keli1: 175 sessions
vkn: wow 175 at your session ?
keli1: my topic was on Dr. Florence Crim Robinson-her life, her accomplishments, etc..
vkn: 00ps Understanding better about 175 ok
keli1: yes 175 different sessions, I don't know how many people attended, but they also had some evening sessions
vkn: I was telling AYW that I thought their marketing was super outstanding
keli1: I attended one evening session and probably had the most people in the audience than any session/15, I was so proud to see a young AA 4th yr student from UVA present her paper on Dessa Rose yes the marketing was good...I would agree...
vkn: Sounds wonderful
alt: whew!!! an old friend from Indianapolis called
keli1: I will attend another one... Hi Art..
alt: hi keli1
vkn: It is just so hard when all of these conferences are scheduled at the same time
Atlanta: Needs some stragecic planning
keli1: yea that is true, sept and oct are tough, I guess cause they don't compete with other conferences, sports, etc.. and off tourist seasons.
Atlanta: Howdy Seventies
Seventies: Hello all! keli1 thank you for the FB reminder!
keli1: hi soulchile
vkn: Howdy seventies
keli1: you are welcome...
alt: hello Seventies
Seventies: I am still caught up in trying to finalize music for an African music CD. Lots of work Hi alt, Atlanta, vkn, keli1
keli1: I did not know you were into music, how exciting
vkn: Nothing works without work seventies
keli1: Atlanta, you are correct...
Seventies: Looking for music to play at my Africa table. Yes I've totally claimed responsibilty for it! lol exactly vkn I dug up my artwork. Lots of it it Ethiopian because of my years in Italy.
keli1: @ Atlanta Dr. Florence Robinson was at Clark Atlanta U.. do you need some soulfull hip hop to add?
Seventies: alt just want to let you know you are truly a gentleman... nice response to George Geder's post about Hiram Revels on Facebook. I was hot after reading the first resposne.
vkn: What is the essence of the post seventies or of the initial response
alt: yeah, me too Seventies ..... I know of too many blacks/african americans during slavery who were 'literate' FPOC & slaves.
Seventies: What we discussed last night about the biography of Hiram Revels.
vkn: ohhhhh ok I missed last night
Seventies: Did I ever tell you that my cousins are also Lynches? They look so much like John Lynch. They are related to me on my Thompson/Galmore line.
keli1: I missed that as well..
alt: about literacy being 'illegal' for blacks vkn .... heck it was 'illegal' for blacks to run away from slavery, but that didn't stop them or the workings of the UGRR.
keli1: my folks were free and some were literate
vkn: True
Seventies: right alt. TY.
vkn: and literate has many definitions
Seventies: Bottom line is that it was illegal for the enslaved to learn to read and the environment made it difficult for the 'FREE' to learn to read as well.
alt: listening to Bernice's thurs nite show while chatting.
vkn: Many literate peeps are not grammatically correct
Seventies: I'm listening to music to download. Right now I'm in Chad... :} I've been working on this all weekend! Africa is hugely diverse. even more than I think some of us African descended folks realize.
vkn: Seventies are you listening for music from "The Rain Forest"
