Purpose
Almost seven years ago, Lucy’’s Children (EAC/LC) was established for the study and discussion of American slavery, its rise and manifestation as well as its continuing impact on our lives. Further, as the internationalization of economic interests converged early on regarding African labor in particular, EAC/LC also explores related histories in other countries. Our goal is to provide not only information where there have only been questions, but to address our moving forward.
We are open to members, friends and guests. Our sessions and topics take many forms. Historical areas are our benchmark. Personalities, environmental conditions, music, travels, medical and scientific work are among our interests.
Supported Projects
From time to time, we have engaged in public advocacy through demonstrations, writings and voice. Some selected writings have been submitted for posting on the website. Three ongoing projects with us are Léogâne, Haiti, a joint educational and agricultural effort; the Harriet Tubman Byway, and Gloves n’Stuff, a local response to migration needs.

Selected presentations have been recorded via zoom. These presentations and selected researched papers, including commentaries can be found on the BSEC website, BSEC.org., go to the video tab and on the BSEC U-Tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@bsec/videos.
