A prodigious letter writer, Sancho owned a shop at 19 Charles Street in Westminster, a vantage point—at a literal cross-roads in London—that allowed him to meet innumerable people and observe various events that are narrated in the letters. By creating a digital map of his experiences and connections, and layering this alongside new data capturing the experience of Black Londoners more broadly, the project also aims at the larger imperative of improving scholarly and public understandings of the local and international cross-currents within Black history. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the BOSTONDH list, click the following link: https://listserv.neu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=BOSTONDH
