I am currently collecting and editing the writings of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, a 19^th century Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME). As you can imagine, this project is dependent upon time online, in libraries, some travel, and a lot of footnote chasing. Since I am working with documents from the 19^th and early 20^th century, I need researchers, typists, and proofreaders  to assist in the project. The goal from this research would be to develop a paper that the student can present at either (or both) the National Council of Black Studies Conference (NCBS) typically held in the Spring or the African American Society of Life and History Conference (ASALH) typically held in the Fall.

Since this is an ongoing project, I can have students start at anytime.
