Vicki Oldham stands next to a Civil War era house in Bradenton. She is part of an effort to help preserve an area on the Manatee River where an African-American settlement flourished in the early to mid 1800s. The area, named Angola, has been of interest to archaeologists, who have been surveying the area with equipment used at ground zero in New York. The area where she is standing was part of the survey.
