This #MemorialDay, we honor Black Americans who gave their lives in service, often while facing injustice at home. Their courage shaped our nation. Their legacy deserves to be remembered and honored.

It's a myth that African Americans can't trace their roots. RepGen helps families connect with their enslaved ancestors. Start with "Black Roots: A Beginner's Guide" by Tony Burroughs and check out this Detroit PBS interview:

71 years after Brown v. Board, schools are still unequal. The ruling promised equity through integration, but justice demands more. Real repair takes resources, accountability & truth-telling.

Today, we celebrate civil rights leader Malcolm X, a man who was not afraid to stand up for what he believed in and to speak his mind. These qualities are emulated in today’s Black leaders as the fight for full civil rights continues.

We help Black Americans reconnect with their lineage because healing begins with knowing where you come from. Support our work to bridge generations through genealogy, reunions, and more.

[reparationgeneration @repgen_]

A common objection to reparations is that Black Americans can’t trace their lineage to enslaved ancestors. RepGen is proving that wrong. Our genealogy program is connecting families + histories and showing what was taken.
