The Research Project

WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO DO IS POST SOME OF WHAT YOU'VE FOUND! What was the Slave Conspiracy about? Each of you received five people to track down. What did you find? Not find? The original paragraph written here was blither-blather (in other words, quit whining and get to work on producing something of some value here). I want to see content, some reflection on what you learned by reading the book, and the trail you've followed--even if frustrating. This is about doing real research. JW
