Adding to Black History

Abstract

"MU professor paints complex picture of slave trade. ... As Daniel Domingues' career moves forward, his research moves backward. Domingues, originally from Paraná, Brazil, received his bachelor's degree in history before receiving his master's and doctorate from Emory University in Atlanta. He started his studies with a project called Voyages, a trans-Atlantic slave trade database that catalogs information about ships carrying slaves from Africa to the Americas. Now, the assistant professor of history at MU is contributing to the African Origins Portal, a database that documents where the slaves were coming from within Africa before they were loaded onto vessels."
