#OTD in 1781 the Zong Massacre began. 132 enslaved people jettisoned. The case was heard as an insurance dispute. Lloyds of London's slave trade archive was digitised by blackbeyonddata via 'Underwriting Souls' website. Find out about their research: theconversation.com/lloyds-of-lond…

This week, Community Data Fellow Skyy Moorer hosted a Community Archives Workshop at our weekly Senior Social. Longtime residents looked through SFNC's archives & reflected on their experiences in the neighborhood as part of the blackbeyonddata Community Data Project.
