First day in Sierra Leone. We have to get a few clearances in hand before we can hop out on a street, film in public, etc.
We took a tour of Freetown, including Fourah Bay College, where Marcus Rediker will present a public lecture on the Amistad Rebellion on May 8.
Konrad Tuchscherer and Philip Misevich of St John's University led us to their old academic haunts and the site of the lecture.
All three are pictured below in reverse order outside the Department of History and African Studies, the site of the lecture.
