For Those Before

A Black history blog highlighting the stories of enslaved peoples, their ancestors, their descendants, and stories from the African diaspora.
Dedicated to my grandparents who grew up in time where their images and stories were not widely celebrated or acknowledged.
For Harold, Etta, Tommie, & Ella

Please excuse the mess; I’m currently reformatting old posts.
