In the evening on October 26, the AIA-Washington, D.C.

Co-sponsored by Howard University, it featured Professor J, Cameron Monroe who has led archaeological work across the heartland of the kingdom. His presentation focused on how archaeological research is changing how we view the political power of the kingdom in the Atlantic World.
