You are invited to participate in a historic encyclopedic edit which, when completed, will be a milestone for the documentation of African Diaspora peoples.

Trinidadian-born Dr. Boyce Davies is the general editor of The Encyclopedia of the African Diaspora, a two-volume project for ABC-CLIO.  She is also an active scholar in African Diaspora Studies and International Black Women’s Studies at Florida International University where she is the Director of African-New World Studies.  This brilliant young mother of two beautiful daughters is noted for her frequent mind-stimulating lectures that are held throughout the year, and her annual national Black studies conferences.

Her education, experience, accomplishments and contributions to black studies are most impressive which exceed qualifications for the tedious task she is about to undertake. The Oliver Cromwell Cox Online Institute supports Dr. Boyce Davies, and wishes her every success on the project.
