DWP lead instructor
Kamau Sadiki (at left)
has participated in
more than 20 diving
missions. Sadiki helped
identify the slave ships
São José Paquete
d’Africa in South Africa
and Clotilda in Mobile,
Alabama. Jewell
Humphrey, an archae-
ology doctoral student
on her first divingmission, represents
a new generation
searching for wrecked
slave ships and docu-
menting African Amer-
ican history. Preparing
to become a professor,
she wants to increase
the presence of Black
women academic lead-
ers, who make up just
3 percent of faculty
on college campuses.‘BEING
CONNECTED WITH
YOUR ANCESTORS
IS A VERY POWERFUL
THING. IF YOU BREAK
THAT CONNECTIVITY,
IT’S LIKE YOU’RE
WANDERING
AROUND LOST.’
