Haitian Odysseys

Haitian Odysseys is a StoryMap that can help students gain insights into patterns of mobility related to the nineteenth-century African diaspora. Students can follow the journeys of the Granville family and consider the routes and support networks that made such travel possible. This StoryMap can serve as a focal point for simulations, debate, independent research, guided discussion, or to tap into prior learning on the Black Atlantic experience. This site also serves as part of a broader unit on post-colonial migration and Afro-descended identity.
