It’s taken a few years to bring this film to fruition, but we did it. We reunited a family that was separated by slavery & brought them back to their SC roots! It’s an amazing story! We’re in post production, but we’re almost done! @coalpowered @SCHumanities #Documentary #family

@dariusrucker I recently interviewed a genealogist from Charleston, SC. He shared that a Bible belonging to your ancestral Brown family was found in a home that was being demolished. They would love to return this piece of family history to you. I would love to help you connect.

This video posted by @tashannawinn had my eyes getting wet! I know this kind of sibling love and every day, I am grateful for it. I hope their love and friendship as siblings will continue to grow forever! #love #family #siblings #friends #college #SCSU #hbcu

@KingEx_IV Hands down, the saddest and most frustrating thing ever! We have such a rich, beautiful and powerful history & culture that is being denied.

@danielmloftus Are you sure you’re not in Texas? LOL We can go from a lovely 70 degrees to freezing temperatures and snow flurries on the same day. I feel your pain!

I didn't always love history because I never saw my family in it.
Once I started learning how to do research & about the works of historians & authors who wrote African Americans into American history in a truthful & meaningful way, it has intrigued me since! #history #family

I just saw this sign in my neighbor’s yard, and it gave me the chuckle that I needed today! #wutang #comicrelief #elections

@GullahSc This book is amazing! Also, prenuptial agreements that favored daughters of wealthy enslavers called “marriage settlements” were commonly put into place to ensure that daughters going into marriages retained “ownership” of enslaved people if her marriage ended in divorce.

Me, when I’m filming in a few weeks and the DNA tests people took over a month ago still say “pending!” #DNA #genealogy #research #oralhistory

This year’s @TxOralHist Conference at @PVAMU was awesome. It was a pleasure to present at the conference, and the other presenters and the keynote speakers were so good! I left there feeling like I found my people! I look forward to next year’s conference! #history #storytelling

Kumbaya was a "call and response" song that that was sung with great passion! It was a call to action, not the more understated version most known by the masses today. #Gullah #history #music #ancestors #SC

@deahbmitchell I’m giving you a standing ovation! Well done.

Don’t sleep on local archives. Working with @ClarendonSCgov archive is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Their team is thorough & helpful, & it’s clear that they are passionate about preserving their community’s history! #research #Genealogy #antebellumdiasporaproject
