My hobbies include playing video games, making and listening to music, playing basketball, and working out. From this project I have expanded on what I already knew about the efforts to abolish slavery. It has shown me that the freeing of my ancestors was a long and rigorous process that didn&#8217;t happen overnight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-197 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/slaveryproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13375\/2019\/02\/IMG_5682-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My name is\u00a0<strong>Joseph Ritter<\/strong>, and I am a junior at ODU studying Computer Science and I am from Newport News, VA.
