The more I read , the more I am amazed and fucking inspired.
Clifton ran for president twice
he was the first black man to be elected by a political party to run for office.
I'm glad my Granny pushed me to do this. I was so focused on great grandma Chief and very much gave a middle finger to anything that had to do with European heritage.
But in all this excitement, I also find sadness. I think I've found the pictures of the men who owned my ancestors. And now know the details of how they were given to their family members as part of land in a will.
Very bittersweet, but I knew I wouldn't find a bunch of roses and daffodils digging into this side of the family.
It's one thing to know these things existed, but it's another thing to possibly be looking at these people.
