T
he Burial Database Project of Enslaved Americans could not have succeeded without the generosity of a village. Over the past three years I have received direction, counsel and encouragement from a host of experts, scholars, colleagues, friends and family. Words cannot fully express my gratitude and appreciation for the time, resources and inspiration that were given to me in support of my work to memorialize the lives of enslaved Americans. Regrettably, it is not feasible to include every name, or to properly thank those who are mentioned simply by listing them in this report. However, I would like to specifically acknowledge a few in particular who have played an integral role in my journey thus far.
