Amistad receives many visitors annually, and some of which are tourist who are generally interested in the history of the Center. This week, approximately twenty Fisk University Students stopped by Amistad for a tour. Our director talked to the students about the history of the Amistad case and the repository, and asked a staff member and me to give the students a tour of the processing area. My part of the “impromptu” presentation included a general overview of the processing area and O’Neal’s papers. I showed the students some of his writings and letters and encouraged them to start a collection of writings of their own. (The students were very intrigued to learn and hear about O'Neal's love letters)!
