a stone cold opus from alex neason 🐆

This story captures the thrill of actually doing genealogy brilliantly. You'll remember when you first started, too. Well worth a listen!

One of the most gut-wrenchingly powerful pieces of audio that I’ve ever heard. Highly recommend

Tomorrow marks 158 years since slavery ended in the U.S., but the legal cases enforcing slavery are still used as good legal precedent by lawyers and judges today. Spend a few minutes tomorrow learning more about this trend at citingslavery.org. #Juneteenth #Juneteenth2023

Principal Chief Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. gathered with Cherokee Nation leaders and citizens at the Cherokee National History Museum in Tahlequah to celebrate #Juneteenth! 💜 Chief Hoskin signed a proclamation observing today — June 19, 2023 — as Juneteenth in the Cherokee Nation.

So excited for my geneamama TheRealFamilytreegirl on this feature by CNN for International African American Museum! IAAM CFH #blackprogen cnn.com/2023/06/19/us/…

Enslaved people in Cherokee Nation achieved their emancipation by a legislative act in 1863 & were guaranteed citizenship in our tribe by the Treaty of 1866. The history of slavery in Native nations, why often left out, is an important part of the story of slavery in the U.S.

I highly recommend listening to this compelling issue of Radiolab, in which alex neason 🐆 and genealogist Nicka Sewell-Smith trace her family’s history and the origins of her last name. At moments, I just stood silently, listening and absorbing. Bless you.

It’s been 158 years since Juneteenth, yet lawyers and judges still cite to slave cases for good legal precedent. The Citing Slavery Project provides a database of all slave cases, and the modern cases that use them for precedent. #Juneteenth2023 #Juneteenth

On this day in 1984, Prince and The Revolution released their iconic soundtrack Purple Rain. The album received 2 Grammys, 3 American Music Awards, 2 Brit Awards, and an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score, and the album remained at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for 24 weeks.

#OnThisDay in 1866, James Haskins wanted to find his son of the same name. The young James Haskins, 17-years-old, had gone off with the Union Army in May 1865. #lastseenproject #BlackHistory #BlackGenealogy #DigitalHistory NHPRC

Back in the day, they would mix donor sperm with the parent’s sperm so no one would know which one actually took. So, do with that what you will. 🥴
