    About this ebook

    This book is written in honor of all my ancestors who had in common struggles for survival whether boarding a ship as a slave from Africa and crossing the Atlantic Ocean known as the Middle Passage or just simply trying to keep their land in North America. They both befell being a number on a page, be it a slave manifest or a destitute Indian roll number. The only one who sees these people as important today is me! While we ponder on the United States of Americas history, my family remains displaced in this American society.
