Prince Among Slaves: The Cultural Legacy of Enslaved Africans

Prince Among Slaves: The Cultural Legacy of Enslaved Africans encompasses a nationwide series of thought-provoking presentations that use the award-winning NEH-supported documentary film as their centerpiece. In all, fifteen public screening-and-lecture events reached a large, diverse audience, deepening public understanding about the impact and legacy of American cultural and religious history in the antebellum era, and its influences on our pluralistic society today. The NEH-funded website features rich content expanding on three theme areas—identity, Muslims in early America, and the Trans-Atlantic slave trade—with video by project scholars, archival images and more.
