1. This picture is often posted throughout Black History Month and random times throughout the year, but allow me to give a little context.

This woman's name is Pamela Echols, and this takes place in Milwaukee in 1967.

Events that year were known as "The Long Hot Summer of 1967...."

Bloodlines of the Slave Trade 2023 1hr 13min Examines the lives of two people whose only connection is a genetic link to John Armfield, one of the most notorious slave traders of the 1830s. Rodney Williams, who is Black, and Susanna Grannis, who is white, each trace their ancestry back to their distant ancestor, detailing the diverging paths their lineages took. While their relationship to this past is fundamentally different, and they never meet in the film, they both share in the telling of the horrific domestic slave trade and the ongoing reverberations of slavery. The film also navigates the lesser known "second middle passage" referred to as the "domestic slave trade." Starting in Alexandria, VA, where two of the wealthiest and most infamous slave traders of the mid-19th century were headquartered, Williams journeys along the Natchez Trace where in all likelihood his ancestors walked before him. In Alexandria, John Armfield and Isaac Franklin would either ship or march the enslaved down south to Mississippi or Louisiana for both future sale and brutal work on southern plantations. These cruel transactions involved separation from family members, long and arduous journeys chained together in coffles, and even more brutal working conditions once sold off in Natchez or New Orleans. His path along the trail illuminates the mechanisms and realities of chattel slavery, and illustrates the vast accumulation of wealth created by enslaved people, but held by slaveowners and benefitting their descendants.

an image of a Black man in a dark suit standing in front of a theater under its overhang marquee. Director John R. Kinard in front of Anacostia Neighborhood Museum, by Unknown, May, 1968, Smithsonian Archives - History Div, OPA-1654R1-05A. Born in 1936 in Washington DC, John Robert Edward Kinard would become the first African American director of a Smithsonian museum at the age of 31. Kinard’s circuitous path into museum work took him from development work in Africa to community organizing on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to a dilapidated theater on Nichols Street in DC’s Anacostia neighborhood.  There, he would build the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum in 1967.
