That's it, man. I gotta talk to my grandmother(s) on both sides about our ancestors more while they're still here.

They've told me bits and pieces but I need names, Breh.

Yes please do. I neglected to ask my mom more questions about her side of the family before she passed and now there aren't hardly any of that group left to find out specific details.

Yea, I'm pretty sure I can get information out of my grandmother on my mom's side which is the side I grew up with. But, my father's side will be harder and I already know it.

Yea, it’s been tough on my fathers side. My grandfather doesn’t really like talking the past at all. Most of what I have comes from my grandmother, who tells me all she can.

Yea, if we being honest, my mom doesn't like me asking my grandmother about our history, she gets mad at it for reasons I don't know.

But, I don't really care, I'm doing this for me.

:yeshrug:

As for my biological father, he called back in spring or summer (I forgot) of this year and told me the family from his side was native which would be funny if true because my great grandmother on my mom's side was half-native. my grandmother's (on my mom's side) sister who is still alive has pictures of her. But, I don't know if it's true or not, his mom (my grandmother from him) is still alive, so I'll talk to her when given the chance. It's the least they owe me.

People need to understand that I'm doing this for me. I just need names, birth dates, etc.

:snoop:

Good luck on your journey bro. It’s going to take some digging and constant badgering of your fam, but you’ll get your info. Just don’t give up. We need to find out as much as possible

Asking someone to mentally recall Jim Crow might actually trigger PTSD. Who knows what type of disrespect people had to live with just to get through that era.
Yea, my grandpa had a lot of foul shxt that happened during this time period. He can’t read to this day, and still refers to whites as crackas

I can understand why he doesn’t want to talk about it.

Love seeing the local ADOS chapters hosting food drives, and being active in the community.
NC and Chicago doing big things.

Whenever I see folks on here say nothing is being done, it lets me know they don’t know what they’re talking about.

It’s cause they’re not doing anything nor plan to. Most of the chapters seem to be very active.
