Martha, Kenya, and I went out on the front porch to discuss how we approach gathering and sharing of information pertaining to African/African American history. The focus was not specifically on genealogy research, but on history all together. What should we consider? Do we apply timelines of history? Do we consider the impact of slavery, escaping to avoid harassment and possible death? Do we consider years of enslavement without counseling? Do we consider the lost connection of family? What is your approach?
