What to do with Clotilda?

August 5, 2019 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

The last ship to bring slaves to the United States was found buried in mud in the Mobile River in 2018. The business of importing slaves was outlawed in 1808, but the Clotilda’s owner made a bet that he could still do it in 1860. He won. To hide his crime–after selling of the 110 […]

Worse than Dead: the Next Best Thing

April 2, 2013 by Georgia Mullen 2 Comments

Author Nancy Gadzuk enrolled me in The Next Big Thing meme. First, I had to look up the word “meme.” The short definition: it has something to do with repetition. And that’s what we’re doing.

April 8, 2012 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

Last summer I took a combined research/pleasure trip to Maysville and Louisville, KY. I learned so much and had to get right down to fixing parts of my story that didn’t jibe with history.

D.C. wax museum adds Harriet Tubman

March 26, 2012 by Georgia Mullen 2 Comments
