Nutrition and Disease in the African Diaspora

University of South Carolina Public Health Research Center, Room 114
921 Assembly Street

To arrange a meeting time with Dr. Hall, please contact Sarah Epting at srgause@gwm.sc.edu or 803-251-6363.

Dr. Robert L. Hall began to focus on controversies surrounding the diets of slaves in the antebellum South of the United States and on diseases in which nutritional deficiencies are implicated after writing an article for the Winter 2007 edition of Southern Quarterly, titled "Africa and the American South: Culinary Connections." His detailed historical research concentrates on times prior to 1910-
the eve of the upsurge of black migration from the rural and small town South to the North, Midwest, and the West. Traditional foodways in the rural South were not in and of themselves unhealthy
in these earlier time periods but have become more so with migration/urbanization, staggering increases over time in sugar and processed food consumption, decreases in the amount of physical activity without commensurate decreases in caloric intake, etc.
Hall has also become particularly interested in diseases in which Vitamin D deficiencies are implicated, including several kinds of cancer (such as colorectal cancer). He believes that some of this has to do with densely melanted skin screening out
ultraviolet radiation which particularly effects darker complexioned African Americans who had migrated to less sunny climes during the Great Migration.
