The African American Civil War Memorial was dedicated 25 years ago today. Located at U St & Vermont Ave, the memorial features sculptor Ed Hamilton's "Spirit of Freedom." The bronze statue expresses the determination of the men who helped free over 4 million enslaved people.

9/90 1860s legislative acts didn’t just abolish slavery, they gave Blacks in the South a chance to earn a living & own land, toiling on familiar land as @BennettGenie4 depicts in unfamiliar fashion: as owners risking their lives for the American promise of freedom. #MAAHStoneAtoZ

@311MC311 A tree fell on across my driveway because of the wind and rain last night. Who should I call? This is a Montgomery County tree. I tried using the form and it is not accepting my information.

One of the nation’s oldest and largest genealogical societies, founded to help Americans trace their family ancestries, will apologize Thursday for its history of racism, which includes a founder who was a eugenicist, and early resistance to integration. https://t.co/oMGeZZe43u

One year later…#Buffalo.

10 human beings, several of them elders in the Black community. 🖤

Gunned down by a White man so enraged by lies about what he’s “losing,” so indoctrinated to an ideology of White Supremacy.

A vessel for violence who never should have been armed.

@EDRodewald Erin, thank you for including me in your article.

[Erin Rodewald @EDRodewald]

Many of us exploring our roots know there’s something missing. As Homesteaders of the South author @BennettGenie4 says, we want to understand, "who am I? How can I find that information, and how can it make me feel whole?” Read more here: https://t.co/nZ2KBiezab
