Description:
This course will introduce students to digital storytelling as well as the emerging field of Black Digital Humanities. It will also help students understand the relationship between digital humanities and African American History. In addition to assigned readings, students will attend lab sessions and learn digital technologies and skills, such as blogging, digital exhibition curation, social media management, ArcGIS mapping, and digital content management. The lab sessions will allow students to apply theory to praxis.
In lab sessions, students will learn to use digital exhibition software (such as PassItDown, Wordpress, and ArcGIS StoryMaps), mapping software (such as ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Survey 123, and ArcGIS Experience Builder), digital content management systems, and social media management tools. Students will also conceptualize a Black Digital Humanities project by the end of the semester and write a grant application for potential funding.
Course Website:
We will use the course website for blogging. The syllabus is also available there as well. The website is: https://pvpantherproject.com/hist-3312-digital-storytelling/
Expectations:
- Students are NOT expected to have specific technical knowledge prior to this course.
- Students are expected, however, to be independent learners who strive to solve technical and historical problems.
- Students must engage substantively with readings on the history, theories, and methods of digital humanities as well as African American History. Thus, students must read the materials prior to class and be prepared to discuss them.
- Students must respond to emails from myself and their cohort in a timely manner. Due to meeting only once per week, it will be necessary to communicate outside of I recommend strongly that you link your PVAMU email account (which is what is connected to Canvas) to your personal email so that you receive all correspondence.
- Students are required to have access to either a laptop or tablet. If you do not have a laptop or tablet, you can borrow one from John B. Coleman Library. Talk to the librarians at the circulation desk to find out how.
Objectives:
Students who take this course will…
- Achieve a higher historical consciousness and a better understanding of the major issues, theories and methods in Digital Humanities, Black Digital Humanities, and African American History.
- Learn to navigate and critically analyze digital technologies as well as curate digital stories using them
- Conceptualize and develop a Black Digital Humanities project
- Write a grant proposal to fund their project
Assignments:
- Blog Posts: Students will respond to readings and labs throughout the semester and publish their responses online. Rather than provide summaries of the readings, students will demonstrate their critical thought process and analysis of scholarship and digital tools. The blog posts are due at noon on the day of class. Students must also read the blog posts of their cohort and comment on at least one each week prior to our class meeting. See Blog Post Guidelines for more information!
- Digital Humanities Historiography: Students will write a short paper analyzing two or more readings on the development of digital humanities.
- Analysis of a Digital/Public Humanities Project: Students will critically analysis one of the Black Digital Humanities projects at this link – https://pvpantherproject.com/2022/09/black-digital-humanities-projects-resources/
- Digital Projects for the Public Proposal: Students will also conceptualize and develop a prototype for a Black Digital Humanities project and write a grant proposal to fund
We will use the Digital Projects for the Public grant available from the National Endowment for the Humanities as our guide [LINK]
Attendance and Participation:
Students must have completed the readings and assignments prior to attending class. Students must also be prepared to actively participate. If you cannot attend class, please let me know at least 24 hours before class (except in the case of emergencies).
Academic Integrity:
I strictly follow the University’s rules regarding plagiarism and other academic irregularities. Please consult me if you have any questions about what is and is not appropriate regarding the use of sources or citation.
Blog Post Guidelines:
The syllabus contains several assignments marked “blog post.” These weeks will require that students write a blog post analyzing or responding to one or more of the readings for that week.
Requirements:
- Summarize the argument of each author
- Respond to one or more ideas in the articles and connect them to current events, other readings, or your research interests.
- Provide a creative, exciting title
- Curate the posts using images, gifs, or videos with captions to illuminate
- Make sure the blog posts are between 250-500 words in length.
- Comment on at least one other student’s blog post each
The writing does not need to be academic and formal. Indeed, blog posts are most engaging when they capture the voice of the author. So please have fun with these assignments. Remember, you will be publishing them on a publicly available website. So be generous in your critiques of the readings.
If there is any reason why you cannot publish these posts under your own name, please let me know. Due: blog posted by 12pm on Wednesday; comment posted by class time on Wednesday

Say My Name!
Say My Name!
Searching for the Names of the Enslaved at PVAMU
In 2020, PVAMU President Ruth Simmons and Simmons Center for Race & Justice Director Melanye Price asked PVAMU History Professor Dr. Marco Robinson to begin conducting research into the early history of Prairie View A&M University. He asked a group of scholars in the Division of Social Sciences to conduct their own personal investigations and incorporate research projects into their American History survey courses. With no funding at his disposal, Dr. Robinson also worked with a newly-hired public historian, Dr. T. DeWayne Moore, and the PVAMU archivists–Phyllis Earles and Lisa Stafford–to write a series of grant proposals.
One of the most startling discoveries in the initial months was the fact that we did not know the name of a single person who had been enslaved on the plantation that later became PVAMU. Thus, we had no way to track down the descendants of the formerly enslaved people who lived at Alta Vista.
This blog post reveals the first name we discovered in 2021.

What’s in a Name?
For African Americans, the genealogical research process is painful. It reflects the blunt historical truth about hereditary chattel slavery. Historical researchers do not look for evidence about the existence of people. Instead, we need to trace the way property changed hands. Consider the documents associated with buying a house or vehicle in 2023. Slaves were considered property in the nineteenth century, and we can find records associated with slaves. But those records are in the owner’s name.
The 1850 and 1860 censuses included “slave schedules,” and the census enumerators asked slaveowners to list the ages and genders of the enslaved people they held in bondage. The slave schedules, however, do not include their names. This fact has made it difficult to track down the descendants of the people enslaved at Alta Vista.
Jared Ellison Kirby
Slaveowner, Planter, and Confederate Soldier
One of the first steps in the research process was examining the life of Jared Ellison Kirby, the slaveowner and planter who owned the land on which the university sits before the Civil War. An excellent place to learn more about the lives of Americans in the nineteenth century is Ancestry.com, the world’s largest collection of online family history records and government documents.
The slave schedules in the 1860 United States Census reveal that J. E. Kirby owned 159 slaves–more than any other slave owner in Austin County at that time.
Besides census records and slave schedules, we located the manifest of the ship named Galveston, which transported slaves from New Orleans, Louisiana to Galveston, Texas in May 1858 for a domestic slave trading company, Fellows & Co.
Though an 1807 law banned the trans-Atlantic slave trade to the United States as of 1 January 1808, slaves could still be bought and sold (and transported) within the country. The same law that banned the foreign slave trade also regulated the internal transportation of slaves, requiring masters of vessels carrying slaves in coastal waters to provide a manifest detailing their slave cargo when leaving (“outward”) or entering (“inward”) a port.
The ship manifest contains the name of one person who likely lived at Kirby’s enslaved labor plantation, Alta Vista, in then-Austin County, Texas.
Slave Ship Galveston

In May 1858, Captain Rathburn transported a fifteen year-old woman, who was five feet, one inch tall, on the Galveston.
Her name was Lucinda.

Indeed, it will be very difficult to track down the descendants of people enslaved at Alta Vista, but the increased interest in university history and digital preservation has positively changed the prospects for institutional historians at PVAMU. If we try harder to make the archival collections at PVAMU available—and visible and searchable—online, and if white researchers who find evidence of slaveholding in their families will make family documents public, for Black researchers to access and use, we can discover the names of more enslaved people in Waller County.
Our mission at the Digital PV Panther Project is to eliminate historical silences through digital storytelling and prevent the erasure of African American history through historic preservation at PVAMU.
Progress to Date
The Digital PV
Panther Project
Accomplishments
We still have other collections to process and digitize, more skills to learn, and more research to publish, but the Digital PV Panther Project has established a strong foundation for the future of public history at PVAMU. This is a short list of our accomplishments in digital exhibition format for your viewing pleasure!
Archival Processing
We have rehoused over 60 linear feet of archival media in the Cooperative Extension & Home Demonstration Collection, which had been stored in old, deteriorating boxes since the late 2000s. We have also rehoused and processed the manuscript collections of former 31 former PVAMU professors and administrators. Click HERE to view the finding aids.
Social Media – Community Engagement
We have established a social media presence on Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn. We have gained almost 200 followers on Twitter, and some of our Tweets have received over 100 likes and 20 shares. We have created and published over 20 videos on TikTok, some of which have received in upwards of 1,000 views. Moreover, we have curated 148 posts on Instagram and organically acquired 300 followers!
Logo Design
The archival assistants working on the Digital PV Panther Project have also designed an official logo for the project.

Amistad II Bookplace (2002)
This article was originally written by Erika K. Myers and published as “Hidden Treasures: Amistad II, one of the few African – American businesses in Prairie View,” in the student newspaper, The Prairie View (TX) Panther, 80:3 September 18, 2002. Click HERE to read the original article in the Digital Commons.
I almost passed by Amistad II when seeking information for this article. I was used to just rolling right by it as do most of us in Prairie View.
For those of you who do not know, Amistad II is a bookstore that is located next door to PV Grocery. It was an honor and a pleasure of mine to interview Mrs. Ernestine Carreathers once I arrived at Amistad II.
Raymond and Ernestine Carreathers are originally from Denison, Texas, but they have called Prairie View home since 1967. Raymond Carreathers is a proud alumnus of PVAMU, where he joined Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. He attended East Texas State to receive his doctorate in commerce. Dr. Carreathers taught educational administration at Prairie View A&M University, and he retired in 1987 as the Vice President of Student Affairs.
Ernestine Carreathers graduated cum laude with English as her major and French as her minor at Wiley College. She is a golden member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, which she joined in 1945. She attended Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant to receive her master’s degree.
The Carreathers are proud to say that each of their three children earned a master’s degree at Prairie View A&M University. Their daughter, Denise Carreathers, teaches English at Waller High School. Kevin Carreathers, their son, worked at Texas A&M University for fifteen years as Director of Multicultural Services, and he worked at the University of Memphis for six years in a similar position. The Carreathers are also proud to have a grandson who is a scout for the Houston Texans.
Presently, Mrs. Carreathers works in Amistad II and also as a supervisor for an alternative teacher certification program. Once the interview was complete, I had the opportunity to browse the store. The store is very quaint but has a comfortable and warm feeling. Amistad II offers graduate textbooks as well as administration and counseling textbooks Unfortunately they do not offer undergraduate textbooks. They do, however, offer various novels and autobiographies written about and by African American authors They offer books written by such talents as E. Lynn Harris and Carl Webber. I was pleasantly surprised to see books by E. Lynn Harris since I am trying to read the entire collection. If you are a fan, then you understand. Amistad II offers Prairie View and Greek paraphernalia. They also offer African American greeting cards.
I encourage everyone to show your support to Amistad II as well as to the many African American talents that they showcase in the store. We all need to stick together and support one another. Mrs. Carreathers informed me that their business has been sort of slow since they opened the bookstore. You do not have to go to shop for yourself. Cards and books have always been excellent gift ideas for any occasion. I am sure you all show your support to the various eateries in the area to satisfy your stomachs.
Why not support a place where you can satisfy your mind?
Indeed, Erika Myers believed that the bookstore was a historic site in the city in 2002. It might be a good idea to recognize the historical significance of this business in the annals of city history. It might be a good idea to write a historical marker nomination for the Texas Historical Commission. It might be a good idea to write nominations for numerous historic sites in Waller County. After all, the county is sorely lacking for historic markers recognizing the contributions of African Americans to the development of the county. The impact might be nothing short of revolutionary.
That Old PV Spirit
That Old PV Spirit By Clearance Lee Turner
This is the time of the year when college students throughout the United States prepare for Homecoming. I would like to remind you that as you prepare to enter cars, floats, etc. in the parade and have your best suit cleaned, and buy corsages that this is not all that goes into making Homecoming what it should and ought to be.
Stop and ask yourself the question. What is the major event that is to take place during the Homecoming activities? I am sure as you think about it without a doubt you will say the football game. Will the beautifully decorated cars help the team win? Will the lovely corsages and warm winter suits help the team win? No. The only thing that is going to help the team and give us that Homecoming feeling is that…good old P. V. spirit.
How do we get this spirit–by going to the bon fire, pep rallies and boosting our team. There is an old saying that love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage…well that good old P. V. spirit and our team go together like a car and a garage. Now you take a new car and let it stay out in the weather and never build a garage to protect it; by the time you get ready to use it it is all run down. That is the same way it is with the team. Now you take a good team and put them on a football field to play ball and give them no support; by the time that the last quarter comes around and you feel like supporting them, the team is either tired, disgusted because you did not support them, or maybe they could be like the new car…run down.
Do we want to win?
Yes, we want to win and in order to win we must support our team!
Band, strike up the music; cheerleaders, start your cheers; and, students, get that good old P. V. spirit because we are not going to let our team play our Homecoming game without our support.
