You might send the announcement to the web sites of the Melungeon Heritage Association and the Redbone Foundation. H-South is a possibility. Here's a Creole organization in Lafayette, LA: http://www.creoleinc.com/index2.htm Back to top fwsweet Administrator Joined: 26 Nov 2004 {Posts: 5380 } Location: Palm Coast, FL Posted: Fri 16 Nov 2007 22:46    Post subject: Good idea.

Suggestion/Question, in order to make sure there is an actual crossing of a line, will your submittions be "only" from the person who did the crossing or will you allow others to tell the story of someone other than themselves? Will there be any criteria to separate those who have hidden their past with these who are crossing the line acknowledging at least one black-self-identifying living blood relation? just wondering?

This is explained in the guidelines. Specifically: guidelines wrote: The collection will include both first-person and third-person accounts. First-person accounts are those that narrate the author’s own family background (as Bliss Broyard does in One Drop, for example). Third-person accounts are those that present others’ experiences culled from documents (as Wayne Winkler does in Walking Toward the Sunset). Monica wrote: Will there be any criteria to separate those who have hidden their past with these who are crossing the line acknowledging at least one black-self-identifying living blood relation? There are no formal criteria to that effect. Nevertheless, since the essays are non-fiction, writers of third-person hidden crossings would have to present some evidence of the facts. First-person or family accounts would be held to less rigorous standards of evidence, but must still be non-fiction. Good question. Thank you.

Would more than one article from the same author be acceptable?

Isn't the term "African slave ancestry" confusing since so many victims of hypodescent and the ODR are descended from "free colored" people?
