More Information From PIE-Up:
I didn't get everything straight when I sent out Thomas Padilla's contact information yesterday.
Actually, Padilla was mentioned in connection with the Digital Humanities, and work on audio collections and searches.  Here is contact information for Thomas Padilla:  http://libguides.lib.msu.edu/profile.php?uid=96099

In relation to human trafficing and slavery and the music project,  The work has a site here: Cuatro Corridos http://cuatrocorridos.com/. The soprano who envisioned and initiated this project is Susan Narucki, and they will be performing it as part of "Latin Is America", spring 2015.  Right now, Molly Fillmore, Music, and Jane White in Criminal Justice, and soon, Jeff Grabill and Bill Hart-Davidson (WRAC) will be taking the lead on MSU's involvement. Molly and Mark Sullivan met with Hi Fitzgerald yesterday, and he gave them several more names, and offered some staff help, and suggested they reach out to Detroit. Jane White, and the MSU Task Force already have contacts with the U of M College of Law, and with people at Wayne State. 

Did you know MSU School of Criminal Justice and College of Social Work coordinate the Michigan Human Trafficing Task Force?   http://www.humantrafficking.msu.edu/index.html
