RLP 201: Coming to the Table with Suzanne Lowe

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is an interview with Suzanne Campbell Lowe. In 2005, Suzanne learned from a white cousin about her Campbell family's connection -- through slavery -- to a black man named James Meredith. Over the course of the next several years, Suzanne's white and black families have built their relationships and explored their descendancy from their common ancestor: a prominent white leader of the Confederacy named J.A.P. Campbell. Join us as we discuss Suzanne's journey getting to know her black cousins and learning about African American research.
