Project blog, 13 october 2013

As was evident at our last class meeting, Jason Barrett and myself have chosen to undertake a new project, one put forth by Professor Shockley.  The reason for this was, as Jason stated, that the university wished to control our access to resources and to certain historical information, such as information on the slave cabins.  This would not do and this also adds a major headache for us since we now have to start completely over.  I have to write a new proposal, which is not easy considering that I have two term papers to write simultaneously and attend work at 6-10pm monday through friday night.  I will get it finished, though, and now Jason and myself have to confer with Professor Shockley about which tasks each of us could do on the project.  It is vexing in a substantial way and is another example of someone trying to whitewash history with a nice, rose-coloured coat.  We both should be able to do something on this project, I will probably be doing some research and writing what needs to be written and Jason will write some of the cards and re-organise the website itself to make it neater.  This is where we are on our project, a crossroads as to what to do on it.
