Royall House and Slave Quarters
What narrative is being presented? Are there other narratives that could or should be included?
The narrative presented in the video is on a slaveholding family living in Massachusetts in the 18th century and enslaved Africans who ensured that the family lived in the most lavish style possible.[1]. The video shows the museum architecture of the Royall House and Slave Quarters, its household items, programs bear-witness, and archaeological facts, all in intertwined stories of bondage and wealth, which had been set against a backdrop of the quest of independence for the American natives. Apart from this narrative presented in the video, it could be worthwhile to include how other narratives on how the Africans got enslaved by the Royall family and the enslaved Africans’ experience as they continued to experience harsh treatment from their enslaving masters.
What is successful about the virtual tour video, and what might be adjusted to draw in new audiences?
The videocast by Kyera Singleton is very successful in presenting the virtual tour. It clearly shows the museum, and thus, if one wishes to tour the historical home of enslavement, making the enslaved and the forced labor be afterthoughts. The video shows interestingly depicts a captivating virtual tour guide in the manner the lives of enslaved people were, right from the way they used to sleep, the roughness of their clothing fabrics, the kind of stairs they used to walk u then downwards during the day, several pieces of different tiles the slaves used to fashion during their free times, into games, among several other fascinating moments.
The video also reveals the good history, and several challenges that the slaved used to go through, some of which mirrors the current ways of living. The museum indicates that it is not only necessary to keep talking about the history of enslavement associated with the lavish family but also the positive attributes of the Royall house[2]. Ideally, this institution of enslavement was important, as it formed a basic foundation used to create then sustain the lavish living styles of the Royalls and occasionally showing a lot of integrity in the lives of the enslaved Africans.
Even though the presentation in the video is clear, engaging, and captivating, it would be essential to adjust a few delivery items to draw in new audiences. First, it would be important to call into action or engage the audience with prompt questions such as, “Why do you think it would be important to learn the history of enslave Africans in Royall House and Slave Quarters?” In addition, it would be important to use contrast presentations, showing on one side how the enslaved Africans lived with the Royall families and how their lives were when not interacting with the family. Furthermore, it would be important to show how the benefits, in case there were any of the enslavement to Massachusetts’s economy, would draw in more people interested to understand the association of cultural lives with political, social, and economic diversities.
What’s missing that might improve the tour experience? Here you could consider Kyera Singleton’s presentation, artifacts and material culture shared, information from the website, outside sources, etc.
There might not be much missing information on the tour experience in Royall House and Slave Quarters, as delivered by Kyera Singleton. However, the tour experience can be improved further by showing or explaining the real meaning or what the different cultural artifacts presented in the video were used for.[3]Additionally, it would be important to show how the enslaved men, women, and children created conditions of living for the Royalls in lavish styles to understand the uprising social justices, social inequities, racial discrimination, and history of enslavement since the presentation is not only for the black Americans but also for the native Americans.
If this were your virtual tour, is there anything you would have done differently? What and why?
If this were my virtual tour, I would do differently to dig deeper into the history of enslavement, trying to obtain more information about the past, pre-enslavement history of the African before the Royall family enslaved them. Understanding this history would be of great importance in comparing and analyzing how their social and cultural ways of living changed after enslavement.
How did you find the video angles, approach, music, voiceover, etc.? To what extent did the form support or detract from the content?
This video was presented in a straightforward, logical approach, without deviating much from the content. It was easy to follow the history of enslavement, and the social interactions between the enslaved and their lavish masters, through voiceovers, clear-cut images of the museum, and the different cultural artifacts. Furthermore, the presenter stressed key issues and material delivery, enabling a deep understanding of the experience of the enslaved Africans as they continued to experience harsh treatment from their enslaving masters
