We are a group of researchers who are interested to learn more about the rich and yet dark side of the history of the U.S. Virgin Islands’ history. We are driven by the need to preserve their history and honor their resilience as they celebrate the 175th year of their emancipation.

For any questions or feedback on the findings of the research conducted, please contact us at:
