[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Hec, that article, although interesting (thanks again, flea!) didn't mention anything about house vs. field slaves.
Dang! Yeah, I didn't find the research I had mentioned in the other stuff I dug up either.
But I'm pretty sure the slave graveyard was in New York somewhere.
Huh. Reasons going in and paying rent in person is good, include this guy. He was showing off some of his portfolio and there were these pictures where he was "sweaty" and "wounded" and a little "battered" so now Ima go have an impure thought about my neighbor.
Hey, I have to pay rent tonight too...
You should come pay rent here. The rats are low and guys are smokin' hot.
oohhh
Hec, was it in conjunction with this exhibit?

The one they just found a few years ago? Yep.
ETA: I'll bet this is an interesting watch - Slavery’s Buried Past A documentary on the discovery, in 1991, of a slave graveyard, a few miles from Wall Street in New York City, and the ensuing controversies.

I'd like to say for the record that Jon Stewart guesting on a kid's show is fucking BRILLIANT. Saw it--he's extra cute and funny. And very typically himself.
Dr. Micheal Blakey looks like the guy David might be talking about, ita
pdf of a lecture poster
and this was from a document about the program
Dr. Michael Blakey, a biological anthropologist at Howard University’s Cobb Laboratory, head the research on the skeletons found at the burial ground in New York City. Half of them were children, and many of these were infants under 6 months old. This evidence of high infant mortality tells researchers that the enslaved Africans at this site were kept in very, very poor conditions. Mark Mack and other scientists at Cobb Laboratory have been studying defects in muscle attachments and fractures on the remains of the buried slaves, which show that people were ”pressed to the very margins of human physical capacity.”

That's it!
