The Donya Williams Episode

I had the opportunity to chat with up and coming African American female author Donya Williams and we discussed How genealogy/family history, politics, race, social justice, and American history are aligned in a unique way in American current political climate. History is not just about the past. History is about right here and right now. It explains the world we live in and why things are the way they are. It explains a national zeitgeist – specifically, the current American zeitgeist of social division. Most importantly history gives us insights into how to achieve a better future

How 245 years of the American chattel slavery system disrupted and broke her family’s tree – and the journey in re-connecting those lost branches of the family; including sharing research tips and tricks.

So much more
