We are sharing previews of conversations we look forward to having @ #KinfolkologyxComnunityRVA. Here is the 1st: a conversation about data stewardship/consent inspired by the efforts of a formerly enslaved woman named Celia Gaines to find her family. kinfolkologyxcommunity.org/celia-gaines

As a little girl, Delia Garlic was separated from her family & sold. Decades later—long after the Civil War—a strange white woman showed up at her door in Montgomery asking a host of dumb questions. [This is preview 2/6 of #KinfolkologyxCommunityRVA.] kinfolkologyxcommunity.org/delia-garlic



After the Civil War, thousands of African Americans left where they had been enslaved behind and founded new “freedom colonies.” Others made a different decision: to stay and fight for freedom where they were. [Preview 5/6 of #KinfolkologyxComnunityRVA.] kinfolkologyxcommunity.org/battle-payne
