Transfer Day occurred when the United States purchased the Danish West Indies (1917), now known as the Virgin Islands of the United States. The narrative of Transfer Day explores the discovery of the authors ancestral roots on the Island of St. Croix, and the history of the American Virgin Islands, formally known as the Danish West Indies. 

The Transfer Day literary project is central to a series of projects that formulate a comprehensive study of the historical "New World." Learn the role the Virgin Islands and Caribbean region played in the growth and advanced development of the Western world and the African Diaspora.

The storyline highlights some of the Virgin Islanders that made significant contributions the cultural, political and social development, and advancement of the United States...
