MEDIATION:
Designed to explore first-hand experiences, visualize black interaction, and analyze black expressions, these pages reflect the various degrees to which we have intrepreted primary sources to understand the emancipation experience.

Materials in this section take primary sources and recreate them on-line with little or no alteration.

In this section, we have taken primary data from sources such as the census and voting records and created representations unimagined by the original data collectors.
