      And On both sides of the racial lines at that, families didn't talk. I heard virtually nothing from my mother, whose formative years were in Kentucky, or from my Aunt (mom's sister) whose formative years were spent in the north. I'd like to know how that happened. No one said. Now there is no one left to speak.@@Fuzzmom903

    So sad but rewarding to have you and your local Historians show us the history of the enslaved and their descendants.
    AS long as one person remembers them, they live in memory.
    Thank you,
