Prince Browns Invaluable Runaway Persons Database: A True Historians Real Lifes Work Last week while in Detroit, I got my larger education. I got into silly debate with a brother about slavery\enslavement, refugees\contraband, runaways\freedom seekers, etc. when my better judgment finally came to me, I asked him whether he would allow me to talk to him later. A retired sociology professor from Northern Kentucky University, Prof. Prince Browns passion over the last fifteen years has been creating a seriously coded database of runaway ads that is a priceless work. I have never seen anything like it. He has sliced and diced runaway ads so that many kinds of scholars will find it useful. Moreover, his database includes indentured servants and civil war soldiers (which saved us from further useless debate over terminology). Hear me folks, he has labored at his database for 15 years and he has much work to do. None of us is getting younger, and the fruits of our labor must be preserved when they have true value. He is a wonderful guy to put up with the likes of me, and I have a redeemable trait or two. (God gives all of us something.) I am going to do my honest best to make it possible for the Prince Brown Runaway Persons Database be an on-going project and a permanent publication. Isnt this what Carter G. Woodson created ASALH? malcolmtaylor.photoshelter/image/I0000XpjHDTgRUZo
