11/11/16 • 87 min

Research at the National Archives and Beyond
Join Producer and Host Bernice Alexander Bennett to Celebrate 5 years of broadcasting on Blogtalkradio. Former guest will share their insights on genealogical research. I got my start as a broadcaster under the tutelage of Antoinette Harrell – Producer and Host of Nurturing Our Roots Blogtalkradio. I spent two months broadcasting on the Nurturing Our Roots show and my first guest was Melvin J. Collier, author of Mississippi to Africa and 150 Years Later Broken Ties Mended. Research at the National Archives and Beyond! Blogtalkradio first aired on November 4, 2011 with guest Lieutenant Commander Michael N. Henderson, U.S. Navy Retired. The show opened with the theme song Sweet Mello Spice by AK Alexander Productions. Valencia King Nelson and B.J. Smothers of Afrigeneas.com provided the first sponsorship for the broadcast. With no additional sponsors, my commitment to genealogy and history was then self - supported. With 265 episodes, Research at the National Archives and Beyond! Blogtalkradio offered numerous authors, historians, genealogist, genetics genealogist, storytellers, film producers, and others the opportunity to share their passion on my show. Many of my shows have been featured on the Blogtalkradio show homepage and the Popular in History section for live broadcast. This show is also available as a podcast on itunes.com, Stitcher.com, Tunein.com, Podcast.com and Podfanatic.com.

The New Orleans Tribune, First Black Daily Newspaper - Mark Charles Roudané

The New Orleans Tribune: An Introduction to America's First Black Daily Newspaper Mark Charles Roudané was born in New Orleans and currently resides in St. Paul, Minnesota. An educator, author, and public speaker, Mr. Roudané’s recent release, The New Orleans Tribune, An Introduction to America’s First Black Daily Newspaper, has sold over 800 copies. His articles have appeared in numerous journals including the Atlantic magazine South Atlantic Review and the Journal of the Louisiana Creole Research Association. Mr. Roudané was featured as the keynote speaker at the 150th Anniversary of the Tribune at Dillard University and recently presented lectures on Tribune history at Savannah State University, the Louisiana Public History Forum at Southern University of New Orleans, and the Louisiana Creole Research Association. Mark's roots are in Africa, France, Haiti, and Louisiana. His 4th great paternal and maternal grandmothers were enslaved in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti). Both had children with French colonists. Their descendants lived as free people of color in Louisiana, including Jean Baptiste Roudanez, the publisher of the New Orleans Tribune, and Louis Charles Roudanez, the newspaper’s founder and his great, great grandfather. Mark's father, also named Louis Charles Roudanez, was the first to be listed as white on his birth certificate. His paternal ancestry was hidden from him, and he did not discover the Afro-Creole roots until after his death. Inspired by his heritage, Mark spent the last several years passionately reading and researching the South’s first Black newspaper, L’Union, and America’s first Black daily newspaper, the New Orleans Tribune.
