Savannah State University Friends of the Library
Committee Hosts Weeping Time Forum
By Patricia Ann West
The Savannah State
University Friends of the Li
brary Committee (SSU-FOTL)
completed its activity debut
on Monday, March 6, 2023 at
1 PM as hosts of a forum en
titled, “ Beyond Boundaries
of the Weeping Time-A Gene
alogy of People and Place.’’ It
was the last event in a series
of activities sponsored by The
Weeping Time Commemora
tion Committee inspired by
15 years of scholarly work by
Dr. Kwesi DeGraft-Hanson to
document and preserve the sig
nificance of the largest sale of
enslaved Africans in the United
States on March 2-3, 1859 in
Savannah, GA. The forum was
held in the Asa H. Gordon Li
brary with over 40 locals, fac
ulty, and staff joining FOTL.
The hybrid panel in
cluded a virtual presentation by
genealogist and documentarian
Nicka Smith who identified
several ways to gather direct
information from relatives and
even “hctive kin”-those close
family friends who we call
auntie or uncle. Speaker Janice
Roots is a direct descendant of
the Butler Plantation enslaved
sold during the 1859 sale who
traveled from New Jersey to
share her story of recovered
ancestry. Keynote speaker Dr.
DeGraft -Hanson traced the
history of the Butlers back
to the Middleton Plantation
in Charleston and ultimately
called for a more concrete form
of commemoration. “Why
don’t we reserve this site for a
national slave memorial? ’’ he
asked the audience. He ended
by suggesting several sourc
es for further reading and re
search.
The FOTL is a new
initiative charged with the
mission to “advocate for the
library, archives, art gallery,
and any other resources as vital
centers of learning at Savan
nah State University’’. With the
said stated mission, we urge
members of the community to
consider the SSU library ar
chives as a permanent home
for significant books and his
torical works. Co-chairing the
committee are retired Profes
sor Pat West and Dr. Deborah
Johnson-Simon of the Kiah
Project. Other officers are SSU
Prof. Sharee Seal, Alumnae
Dr. Clemotine F. Washington,
and SSU staffer/Author Tina
Brown. Committee members
include Dr. Christana Da
vis, Dr. Sue Ebanks, Servant
Emanuel Branch, Leonard
Brown, Dr. Marguerite Birt,
Dr. Omega Moore, and Dr.
Otis S. Johnson. Representing
the library are Librarian Fe
lix Unaeze, Jeremy Schwartz,
Janice Shipp, Jennifer West,
and Janice Shipp. For further
