Interviewing the descendants of Georgetown's 272 slaves

In this project, Georgetown students interview a number of the descendants of the 272 enslaved people who were sold by the institution. They are given the opportunity to express their opinions on different aspects of the historical incident such as do they feel betrayed by the Jesuit institution, as Jesus followers? and how they want to better the future.
