EDIT:
10 Million Names is building a free public database of enslaved people of African descent in what's now the US (1500-1865). A network of genealogists, cultural orgs, & historians to connect with people inquiring about family history. Data entry began in August & will grow.
This should aid modern descendants seeking #reparations #grants. (upthread)
