Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen years after its hardcover debut, the FSG Classics reissue of the celebrated work of narrative nonfiction that won the National Book Award and changed the American conversation about race, with a new preface by the author The Ball family hails from South Carolina—Charleston and thereabouts. Their plantations were among the oldest and longest-standing plantations in the South. Between 1698 and 1865, close to four thousand black people were born into slavery under the Balls or were bought by them. In Slaves in the Family, Edward Ball recounts his efforts to track down and meet the descendants of his family's slaves. Part historical narrative, part oral history, part personal story of investigation and catharsis, Slaves in the Family is, in the words of Pat Conroy, "a work of breathtaking generosity and courage, a magnificent study of the complexity and strangeness and beauty of the word ‘family.'"

Book Synopsis My Best Genealogy Tips by : Robin R. Foster
Download or read book My Best Genealogy Tips written by Robin R. Foster and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you ever wonder about the enslaved people in your ancestry? Have you asked the oldest living relative what they remember? Do you know what to do next? I was able to find my second great grandfather, Beverly Vance (1832-1899), in 1880 and 1870 on the census along with his mother, his wife, and his children. Have you located your formerly enslaved ancestor in the 1880 and 1870 censuses? This book, entitled My Best Genealogy Tips: Finding Formerly Enslaved Ancestors, will lead to discovering ancestors who had been enslaved. My move to South Carolina When I first moved to South Carolina in 2005, I no longer had to research my ancestors from afar. I lived in the same town as the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. I went regularly to Richland Library where I learned about my family in Richland County, and I identified Abbeville County as the place where they were enslaved. After going through and documenting everything I had, I reached out to the community where Beverly was enslaved in Abbeville County, South Carolina. Originally, I was puzzled because I could not find them in 1880. Greenwood County was redistricted in 1897. They did not move, but Greenwood County did not exist before 1897. It was Abbeville County, SC before 1897. Digging a little deeper I moved to Greenwood County, SC and spent two years trying to uncover what I could. The research included in this book is for those of you who would like to take my examples and use them to find burials for those who were formerly enslaved. I documented formerly enslaved ancestors and worked with the descendants of enslavers to discover what they knew. I did not take the advice given to me by other people while I was researching. It is so important to have a clear head when you are looking for family. I was told that I would not be able to document my ancestors before 1870. I was told that I would not find them married after enslavement. I was told that I did not need to search for them on land deeds or even in newspapers. These are the things that I was told. Let me say that if I had entertained any of what I was told, I would not have had the findings presented in this book. I did not listen, and I have found all but one of my ancestors married after enslavement. So, just remember when you have become a little down because you have made that overwhelming discovery and grandma just does not want to talk or people with the best intentions give the wrong advice. For these reasons, I have a habit of visiting courthouses, libraries, historical societies, and archives to see their resources in-person after I have exhausted researching online. Even with all that has been put online, I notice parts of collections. All the original documentation is kept at the repository. Do not get me wrong though. Databases such as FamilySearch and Ancestry are vital. FamilySearch Books, WorldCat, and Internet Archive are places I have found my ancestors. I share other places where I conducted genealogy research: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina.

Book Synopsis Why We Shouldn't Call Our Ancestors Slaves by : LaRue Nedd
Download or read book Why We Shouldn't Call Our Ancestors Slaves written by LaRue Nedd and published by Fnnc Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3rd Edition- Black history, Psychology, Philosophy, African American History. Why the Africans brought to the Americas under slavery should not be call slaves.It is like an idea whose time has come. This book looks at slavery like no other. It is the paradigm shift we have been waiting for. It is the first book to dispel the stigma of slave from the identity of African Americans. This book is truly revolutionary because it goes against the grain of how we have been educated to view the history of Africans under slavery in the Americas. Racism in America will never be healed until this error is corrected. "I first discovered this error in 1990. I was writing an article about slavery. For clarity, I went to the dictionary and looked up the word slave. That is when it hit me. The definition did not apply to the ancestors of African Americans whom we call slaves. After that, I began to look up the word slave in every dictionary I could find. I discovered that the definition had gone virtually unchanged for over one hundred years until 1993 when I first published Why We Shouldn't Call Our Ancestors as a 19 page pamphlet. Over time, this understanding grew from an article, to a pamphlet, to the third edition. And, still, more learning and insights are coming."For a common understanding of the word slave, this book provides a definition and history of the word slave using the American Dictionary of the English Language by Noah Webster (1867), The Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary, Unabridged Second Edition (1979) The Henry Holt Encyclopedia of WORD and Phrase Origins (1990) and the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition (2000) word History.To prove that the word slave is a bogus word it compares the definition from the above sources to the ideas expressed in the Declaration of Independence. To prove that the definition does not fit, it uses quotes from esteemed historians such as John Hope Franklin and Lerone Bennett Jr. Just as all cars are not a Cadillacs, this book will show why all forms of human servitude are not slavery. It will show that slavery was a system human servitude that was unique to all other forms. This is important when it comes to understanding the impact that slavery has had on Black African Americans and Euro-Americans. It will show how the word slavery is being mis-applied, which causes confusion about the subject and makes the word slave more acceptable when applied to Africans who were in the system of slavery. This book will explain how and why this label has a negative effect on the esteem, self-esteem and psyche of African Americans on a conscious and subconscious level. To do that, it uses insights from Dr. Martin Luther King's speech, "The Drum Major Instinct." and other common sense examples. It will show how this belief serves as a core belief that supports racism other negative beliefs about Black African people.Next, this book will show how and why, in the context of American history, the label of slave leads Black African Americans to the most grievous error of abandonment of form. It will explain what is meant by "form" by using quotes from some of our most trusted documents and allegory. It will show why abandonment of form leads to disproportionate suffering.It will show how and why calling our ancestors slaves is a form of Blasphemy. It will explain what blasphemy is and why calling the ancestors of Black African people who were captured under slavery, slaves is a form of blasphemy. Until modern time, blasphemy was punishable by death. (Matthew 15:4) This book will strengthen our mental and spiritual connection to our ancestors and ultimately to the Creator of Man.In the end, it suggests questions about Black history that our children should be able to answer. It also suggests names that we can apply to our ancestors instead of the word slave.

Download or read book Ancestors of Worthy Life written by Teresa S. Moyer and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the lives of the enslaved at the historic site of Mount Clare Enslaved African Americans helped transform the United States economy, culture, and history. Yet these individuals' identities, activities, and sometimes their very existence are often all but expunged from historically preserved plantations and house museums. Reluctant to show and interpret the homes and lives of the enslaved, many sites have never shared the stories of the African Americans who once lived and worked on their land. One such site is Mount Clare near Baltimore, Maryland, where Teresa Moyer pulls no punches in her critique of racism in historic preservation. In her balanced discussion, Moyer examines the inextricably entangled lives of the enslaved, free Black people, and white landowners. Her work draws on evidence from archaeology, history, geology, and other fields to explore the ways that white privilege continues to obscure the contributions of Black people at Mount Clare. She demonstrates that a landscape's post-emancipation history can make a powerful statement about Black heritage. Ultimately she argues that the inclusion of enslaved persons in the history of these sites would honor these "ancestors of worthy life," make the social good of public history available to African Americans, and address systemic racism in America.

Book Synopsis Remembering Slavery by : Marc Favreau
Download or read book Remembering Slavery written by Marc Favreau and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking, bestselling history of slavery, with a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed With the publication of the 1619 Project and the national reckoning over racial inequality, the story of slavery has gripped America’s imagination—and conscience—once again. No group of people better understood the power of slavery’s legacies than the last generation of American people who had lived as slaves. Little-known before the first publication of Remembering Slavery over two decades ago, their memories were recorded on paper, and in some cases on primitive recording devices, by WPA workers in the 1930s. A major publishing event, Remembering Slavery captured these extraordinary voices in a single volume for the first time, presenting them as an unprecedented, first-person history of slavery in America. Remembering Slavery received the kind of commercial attention seldom accorded projects of this nature—nationwide reviews as well as extensive coverage on prime-time television, including Good Morning America, Nightline, CBS Sunday Morning, and CNN. Reviewers called the book “chilling . . . [and] riveting” (Publishers Weekly) and “something, truly, truly new” (The Village Voice). With a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning scholar Annette Gordon-Reed, this new edition of Remembering Slavery is an essential text for anyone seeking to understand one of the most basic and essential chapters in our collective history.
