13、希望这个项目的运作能帮助美国人，无论是白人或是黑人,了解他们的祖先。请看CNN新闻阿森纳琼斯的详细报道。非洲的奴隶们在1619年第一次来到维吉尼亚州。现在随着墨水的褪色和纸页的发黄,他们的故事正在被更多人知晓。这仅仅是个开始。罗伦特李博士表示这个新的在线数据库允许用户跟踪这个州他们祖先的信息,无论他们是奴隶,自由之身的黑人或奴隶主。你可以看到所有曾被奴役的人都显示了出来。超过80人来到了维吉尼亚州历史社会的工作室,学习如何浏览网站,其中包括一位从印第安纳州专程搭乘飞机赶来的历史老师。我想这就是人类的天性至此，想知道自己起源。研究民间黑人非常困难。所以,你随时都可以找到一个新资源,这对于调查非常

14、有帮助。不再有未知项目和工作室,可能有125000美元的拨款来自能源公司Dominion,这样做的目的是为了帮助人们在国家的进程中填补自己家族史的空白。我们不能只考虑非裔美国人的历史,我们要展望美国的历史,从维吉尼亚的观点。社会已募集了超过800万份文件,主要由维吉尼亚州富裕家庭捐赠。在维吉尼亚州的奴隶比任何其他州都要多。里士满这个城市可以说是美国奴隶贸易的心脏地。很多黑人男人,女人以及小孩被带到这里后卖给其他州。大约3200名奴隶,自由之身的黑人和奴隶主们到目前为止都已经进入数据库的名单,并且网站每周进行更新。这么长时间人们也不知道自己的祖先是谁,甚至不知道去哪里寻找。因此非常重要的就是让人
