We think the archive and its data have important roles to play on behalf of justice, reparations and redress. Read why here:

Justice & Reparations — Kinfolkology kinfolkology.org/justice-repara…

LK draws on records created by enslavers that represent human beings as commodities. So why reproduce descriptions of enslaved people from these records as data? Hover over the “i” next to each variable of LK to learn the logic behind that variable’s inclusion in the database.
