Dear colleagues:

A front page article in today's Washington Post discloses fascinating
and important new information about the first Africans brought to
Virginia, the famous 1619 group from the "Dutch man of Warr."

I am sorely tempted to copy and paste the article to the list, but I am
fairly sure that would violate copyright.   Please, though, don't miss
the chance to read it for yourself, at

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/02/
AR2006090201097.html

You can see the text of the slender Virginian record of this event at

May the forthcoming Jamestown celebration bring us more such
revelations!
