Book overview
Covenant Broken, Covenant Kept: How America Promised Repair to the Formerly Enslaved, Spent 160 Years Evading It, and What Honoring It Requires Now The Reconstruction Congress made a promise. The record says so, in its own words:to the freedmen and their posterity.
This book takes that record seriously more seriously than the courts, the academy, or the federal government ever have. Marshaling the Congressional Globe, the Freedmen’s Bureau archive, and OMB’s own founding directive, independent #DallasTX #ModernOrthodoxJewishTexan scholar Avishai Akiva Dos-Lobitos documents how a specific, lineage-bound legal obligation was administratively dissolved into a vague racial category in violation of the very statute that created it. No euphemism, no charitable reading of intent, survives contact with the primary sources assembled here. Reinforced by halachic jurisprudence’s precise vocabulary for inherited injury and by game theory’s account of why the evasion has proven so durable, the argument is relentless, exhaustively cited, and built to withstand the strongest objections its critics can raise because it engages them directly, on the record, before dismantling them.
The Introduction establishes the ethno-genesis of Foundational Black America (FBA) through three sequential founding moments.
The first is the Middle Passage and arrival on American soil as cargo under law—the constitutive rupture that converted diverse African peoples into a unified legal status of property.
The second is the Virginia statute of 1662 codifying partus sequitur ventrem “the child follows the condition of the mother”, which transformed slavery from a personal condition into a hereditary one transmissible through the maternal line in perpetuity.
This statute is treated as the jurisprudential foundation of the FBA remedy class: if the injury was imposed genealogically, the repair obligation must be genealogical.
The third founding moment is the Reconstruction Amendments themselves, which constitutionalized the formerly enslaved and their descendants as a juridical class with affirmative standing.
The legislative debates of the 39th Congress are quoted at length: Senator Lyman Trumbull’s “freedmen and their posterity,” Representative Thaddeus Stevens’s “debt of justice” owed to those “oppressed for generations and to their posterity,” and Senator Jacob Howard’s enforcement mechanism reaching “discriminations which directly flow from the condition of slavery.”
The Introduction then delivers the three-element juridical definition of FBA status: (1) documented direct descent from at least one person legally classified as enslaved under American colonial or state law prior to the Thirteenth Amendment; (2) legal-status traceability through primary sources (Slave Schedules, Freedmen’s Bureau records, manumission instruments, plantation inventories, Freedmen’s Savings Bank records, or comparable documentary evidence); and (3) continuous American presence from emancipation to the present. DNA evidence may supplement but never substitutes for documentary evidence.

@Lovemygrowth@arthurwatkins What is the FBI hotline tip line..
Time to start our own
Anti FBA Defamation League..
any public policy writer or FBA political scientist. Time to use that public policy writer skills to use
@arthurwatkins Yes.. i have white 4th great grandfather slave owner who had produced Mulatoo children… so I could not be Pan African.. i have to much 3rd and 4th white ancestry
I am been doing my family history ( mostly of my family is directly From Slave Owen, , Mulatoo and Negro) her Newton and Jasper county South east Texas family since 1980. My parents born 1930s we started - my family start Negro Free community here in Newton County.. my family goes back to 1840 the Texas Ashworth Act the Negro passing white, Texas said get out or go into slavery
When FRFT conducted the Copper Color test, we did not test the Australian Aborigines. Those proteins live in the skin. This is why testing different African tribes showed no copper undertones.
@arthurwatkins that D1 MTDNA haplogroup is my 4th great grandmother D1 that was passed to her daughter. The classified her as white her children my 3rd great grandfather Rubien as Mulatoo.
Thanks for sharing the report. I can use this in my book #Yachas_Vedut I just published on Amazon KDP
THE LAW MADE THE INJURY HEREDITARY. WHAT MUST REPAIR FOLLOW?
America’s institutions have learned to debate the injury. Have they learned to honor the obligation?
My book, Yachas V’Edut: Covenant Broken, Covenant Kept, argues that constitutional repair must follow the documented lineage of the legal injury.
The introduction traces three founding moments of FBA juridical ethno-genesis: forced arrival, hereditary enslavement, and constitutional recognition through Reconstruction.
Chapter 4 asks the uncomfortable question: What if continued evasion is a stable outcome of institutional incentives?
Progressive actors: INVOKE or REPAIR.
Conservative actors: DEFLECT or HONOR.
Administrative actors: CATEGORIZE or TRACE.
FBA descendants: ASSERT or ACCOMMODATE.
Across six chapters, I examine the historical record, confront competing arguments, and propose an architecture for lineage-anchored justice.
If you dispute the conclusion, engage the evidence.

@SteveTh39995896@arthurwatkins You mean French and when they came to St Laundry Parish Louisiana this mix in creole and Cajun.. thus making double and triple kinfolk here in Louisiana
This is one of hundreds of my ancestry lines, tracing to MicMac / Miꞌkmaq tribes’ ancestors. I can show you because it is recorded history of this tribe in the United States and Canada, including articles, books, and legal documents. Guidry/Guédry is Cajun and Creole.
Every line is genealogically documented by the US and Canadian governments. I have documented ancestral slave lines too that give me the status of Freedmen.
