^^^Thanks Bison66 for your concern in my family research. No new recent development since last reporting. However a reunion was planned for Atlanta this year 2020 but cancel due to virus outbreak. Our family had a virtual reunion instead which went quite well.
Looking forward to the sharing of your valuable knowledge on this board.

One of the myths purposely perpetrated by historians, churches and popular culture (a la 'Gone with the Wind,' - #ErraticTrump's favorite) was that Africans accepted enslavement in the U.S. and were - HILARIOUS! - docile.

The MANY laws to prevent uprisings and discourage escapes along with news reports of the period demonstrate the total and conniving dishonesty of that specious claim.

Daily sabotage, ads for 'runaways', destroyed crops, occasional poisonings, and enclaves of self-emancipating Africans (Maroons) in Dismal Swamp & the Everglades, and the "Underground Railroad" prove the truth: people want to be free and will take huge risks to escape bondage.

One of the lesser-known and quite large revolts by enslaved Africans took place in 1811 in Louisiana. No doubt it was inspired by the successful Haitian Revolution culminating in 1804. This video documents it.

LONG LIVE DESLONDES!!!!

If you're not familiar with this woman's story, you'll be AMAZED!!

Mary Ellen Pleasant, the woman who became a millionaire and financed John Brown's attack in Harper's Ferry to the tune of $30,000 in 1800s money.

Wait until you see the THIRTY ROOM $2.4 million (in today's value) mansion she designed and built in San Francisco.



"I'd rather be a corpse than a coward," she wrote.
