Their stories were lost to slavery. Now DNA is writing them
A project in Charleston, South Carolina, is using DNA to trace the African roots of three dozen people buried in the late 1700s. The remains were uncovered in the coastal city during construction in 2013. Since then, scientists have learned more about these people and their lives by pulling genetic material from their remains.

In Charleston, the work has also inspired plans to build a memorial on the burial site.
