In this conversation between **Chris McAuley**, Black Studies Collection Editor at Lived Places Publishing and **Deirdre Foreman**, author of *My Cultural Legacy: Slave Culture and the American South* (https: //livedplacespublishing. com/book/isbn/9781915271662? utmₛource=MB utmₘedium=cassyni utmcampaign=black-studies utmcontent=Foreman), they explore the cultural legacy of enslaved Africans in the American South through an ethnoautobiographical reflection of Deirdre's own African American identity and family heritage. Through storytelling and personal narratives, she describes her family’s cultural practices and how they are directly rooted in those of the enslaved African on the Southern Plantation.
