I’m still trying to figure out how “woke” got hijacked & weaponized. People don't even understand the meaning. 😂 #lackingoriginality

I can hardly wait to see the film in 2025. Here is a trailer … so powerful! My friend Fred Murphy (filmmaker and descendant of Ferdinand Jackson) and other Jackson family members meet the family who enslaved their family at the Forks of Cypress. #genealogy vimeo.com/1030977233?s...

My friend & fellow genealogist Tyrone started an internship at his Alma mater to preserve & continue research on his Jacobs family & others enslaved by the Custis family. His ancestor arrived in America from Angola in the 1600s and has thousands of descendants today. www.odu.edu/article/hist...

Another amazing 2024 experience for me in the genetic genealogy work. My first television interview! I was interviewed by investigative journalist Sara Goldenberg on under-representation in DNA databases and the challenges it causes for cold case investigations. www.cleveland19.com/2024/02/28/b...

Under-representation in DNA databases can be hurdle for cold case investigations
