Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

But I'm pretty sure the slave graveyard was in New York somewhere.
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.”

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The document doesn't mention a field/house distinction.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I still haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite.
Right now, I'm watching Exodus. It's pretty good so far, but Paul Newman as Ari is so very wrong casting. I'd thought that I'd find Sal Mineo as Dov wrong, too, but it works. Except for his accent, which is just painful. (He's supposed to be from Warsaw. A very young Jill Hayworth is playing Karen, who's supposed to be Danish, I think, and she's just speaking with her regular accent.)
