This project explores the legacy of slavery and its aftermath through the intersecting themes of Race, Place, Migration, and Health. We will investigate the lived migration stories of African American and Afro-Caribbean residents connected to Orlando’s historic Parramore neighborhood, with particular focus on two congregations whose members experienced displacement and relocation. By combining oral history, archival research, and voluntary, ethically reviewed DNA analysis, the project seeks to understand how historical and contemporary migration patterns shape identity, belonging, community continuity, and health.
