Subject: Sheep and Sugar - the unlikely story of Welsh Wool and Slavery
Dear Patricia
I am working with a number of academics from the Caribbean, Southern States and Wales to explore “Sheep and Sugar - the unlikely story of Welsh Wool and Slavery”
It seems a cloth called Welsh Plains* was preferred by British traders to use for barter along the West African coast and for clothing enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and the Southern States .
Do you know or are you able to circulate a request to see if anyone in your vast network has an interest in or knowledge about the clothing of enslaved workers?
Check www.welshplains.cymru<http://www.welshplains.cymru>
* Negro Cloth was another term used
Thanks.
I’m in Melbourne til after Easter but then hopefully I may be able to come along to some of the great things you are promoting!
I’m currently working on various projects including the new NLHF supported “Sheep and Sugar” project exploring the trade routes for Welsh Plains, as well as the Pennants Project, with Rotary International and the Jamaica Wales Alliance, and links between Beaumaris and Beaumaris and Welsh migration to Australia.
I’m also working and planning with Yasus Afari for his next UK tour: so look forward to the “One Love” Poetry Tour - Celebrating Miss Lou's Centenary Year
So I’m just keeping busy!
Regards
