Join Kinfolkology in its first community event in Richmond, VA on May 5! They invite you to think and create with them for a conversation around data stewardship, Black genealogy, ancestral memory, and reparations for slavery. eventbrite.com/e/kinfolkology…

This workshop is open to like-minded scholars, community organizers, activists and culture-bearers who identify as descendants of enslaved folks, & who are interested in co-collaborative, inter-community engagement. This is the kick off for their Descendant Engagement Initiative.

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

In 1825, Burwell Lee was found guilty of burglary in Caroline County, VA. His sentence? Being sold as a “slave” to a professional human trafficker. Reparations are owed. Let’s talk about it. [This is preview 3/6 of # KinfolkologyxComnunityRVA.] kinfolkologyxcommunity.org/burwell-lee

Most people trafficked in the antebellum interregional trade came from families that had been enslaved in the Upper South for generations: American ancestries that predated the nation itself. [This is preview 4/5 of #KinfolkologyxComnunityRVA.] kinfolkologyxcommunity.org/charles-moody

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
