basically in the 1920s a couple purchased land and set up their own lil business there
which really focused on providing a space for black people that were unwelcome in other places .

white people didnt like it and eventually found a way to steal the entire property from them

it was purchased in the 20s forf thousands
and is now being returned to their great great grandchildren, worth tens of MILLIONS of dollars.



it should have never happened in the first place , why did they have to FIGHT for what belonged to their family?

but.....we luv to see it

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.
