Curious Roots begins its second season with three two-part interviews with community members and descendants of Harris Neck. Our series of interviews begins with Mr. Winston Relaford who is the Chairman of the Harris Neck Land Trust and direct descendant and son of Harris Neck. We spoke to Mr. Relaford in July of 2023 to talk about his family's deep roots in Harris Neck and the community's continuing struggle for justice.
Mr. Relaford's memories of Harris Neck beautifully recall the community's deep connection to the land and how the land nourished the echoes of Indigenous West African fishing practices. He also shares his connection to Amelia's Song and how it connected Harris Neck to the tiny village of Senehun Ngola in Sierra Leone.
