But the tragic story of Haitian engineer Joseph Laroche (1886-1912), his French wife, and their children and descendants have been largely excluded from history. In this lecture, Carter Jackson explores the unexplored aspect of race, and traces how Laroche’s story allows us to better understand the possibilities and limitations of black travel at the time of the Titanic tragedy.
