The Red River Sankofa Project
seeks
to research, document and preserve underreported African American burial
grounds
in NW Louisiana and NE Texas. The area of focus, a rather remote, but
bountiful
region along the upper Red River of Louisiana and along the Texas
Louisiana
border provides a plethora of forgotten, historical content regarding the
contributions
of African Americans who originally settled the area. We are also
extremely
interested in genealogical ties to this place and have been collecting
and
publishing data some find useful for family research.
THE ADGER STORY
This
site is dedicated to the late husband, JOHN HAMPTON ADGER JR.,
of
Lucie Barton Adger. He was the last male of his branch of the tree. He was
a
proud example of his ancestors, a truly honorable man. His three daughters are
keeping
his name alive by hyphenating their last names and his two grandsons'
names
are, Jacob Hampton Adger Ramsey and Daniel Barton Adger Ramsey.
He and
Lucie lived and loved and danced together for 43 years.
The History News Service

in 1996, the History News Service (HNS) is an informal syndicate of

three ways:
by providing "op-ed" articles to the press, by putting reporters and
editors
in contact with historians, and by trying to improve links between the
journalism
and historical professions.
