Slavery on Staten Island - A Dutch Perspective
Presentation belongs to Annette Marks, born on Curacao and presently “adjunct professor” at the College of Staten Island and the Wagner College. She also lectures about African American History, Women History, Caribbean History, Latin American, Native American and African History. She has created “courses” for the Wagner College, Edwards Air Force Base and Lancaster Community College. We are very much impressed by both her ability as researcher and as a speaker. She is extremely enthusiastic and can captivate an audience for hours.
