The authors worked with family historians, gathered volumes of historical documents, and worked with historians from Montpelier, Mount Vernon, and Africatown to ensure its accuracy.</p><p>ALL profits go to the "Each One, Teach One" book stipend for descendants of enslaved attending college to apply for monies to offset the cost of books.</p><p><strong>The Allen family</strong>s story is unique because their loved ones, Pollee Allen and his wife Rose were kidnapped from Africa and brought to the U.S. illegally in 1860 on The Clotilda, 53 years after Congress passed <em>The Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves in 1807</em>. The Allen story dives deeper into the rich culture of African communal living with the formation of Africatown, founded by Pollee, Rose, and 30 other Clotilda survivors. Vernetta Henson, Pollee and Roses great-great granddaughter tells the city of the success and fall of Africatown.</p><p><strong>The Madisons</strong> can trace back their family tree to President James Madison, Jr and his father. They have kept their loved ones stories alive through the ancient practice of storytelling. Each generation has a designated family storyteller called a Griot or Griotte. These family storytellers have scoured the libraries in search of historical documents to help expand on the familys history. One of the familys enslaved ancestors, Jim, (whose father was James Madison Jr.) was allowed to learn how to read and write, leading to each subsequent generation appreciating and valuing the power of an education.</p><p><strong>The Quanders</strong> is one of Americas oldest and consistently documented Black families. The Quanders have two family trees, the result of two brothers kidnapped in Ghana in the 1600s who were sold to two different enslavers. The first family tree has its roots in Virginia (including Mount Vernon), while the second family tree is rooted in Maryland. The Quander family has a long history of civil rights activists, educators, military, and faith leaders. Retired Judge Rohulamin Quander is the family historian.</p><p><strong>The Brooks</strong> family is the only Black family in U.S. history with three generals in their immediate family. They are well known for military service, but their contributions to education and civil rights have also been extensive. The family mandate, beginning with their former enslaved family member, Richard Henry Brooks, continues to be stressed today: "You must be twice as good at whatever you do to get a fair chance." Their love of service for their community was founded by the legacy of Naomi Quander the matriarch of the Brooks family.</p>...9798218348854_Embracing Your Past, INC.libro_electonico_9798218348854_9798218348854Abby WallaceInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/ingram30-epub-aadd53f7-3ef3-4434-808a-87fac2112f17.epub2024-02-06T00:00:00+00:00Embracing Your Past, INC.
