I love this series!! I love the topics you speak on and the thoroughness of your research with your sources attached. Many blessings to y'all for making these videos ❤❤❤ I learn so much and look forward to learning more in videos to come ^.^
There was a sign at one time on Barre Common about Mr. Walker. If you send me an email I can send you a photo. It was damaged in a car accident. I’d like to get it repaired and put back up. Dennis
That's a bummer it hasn't been replaced. I'd love to see the old sign. My email is blackgemsunearthed@gmail.com if you would like to share. Thanks, Dennis!
Cool channel. Being from New England have you ever met anyone Black whose ancestors were ensl@v3d in that part of the country (or New York, Philly etc)? Also, are there any BP left whose ancestors only came from north with none coming from the south at all?
I love this question! To my knowledge, I have not met anyone with ancestors who were enslaved in New England/ Mid-Atlantic region, but I imagine folks are around. You have inspired me to start asking around! A lot of folks, including myself, have ancestors who came to this area from the Caribbean in addition to from the south. Connecting your question back to Quock, I can say there were descendants of Quock's who moved to the Lowell area and Cambridge area (the Lewis family), but I'm not sure where the family moved on to. I'll write back if/when I have more info to share!
@@brobro8471 I have two books that I am reading right now that I think will answer your question. One is "Boston Confronts Jim Crow, 1890-1920" by Mark R Schneider and the other is The Other Black Bostonians: West Indians in Boston, 1900-1950 (Blacks in the Diaspora) by Violet M. Johnson. I've only read a little of each so I can't answer your question with confidence. I will return to your question once I have a clearer understanding, but also feel free to check those two books out too!
