Part 17: The Conclusion of my family Genealogy

Darnell L Williams age 14 calling his descendants

At age 14, I somehow was allowed to purchase phone service from Bell Telephone. I was not old enough to take out a contract for my own phone or service. Even my parents did not understand how I got them to come into their house and install a phone. 

What is Life?

Life is a march from the cradle to the grave. As soon as you are born you are marching to the grave. What you do between being born and being burned up or having yourself lowered into the grave is on you. What we are talking about here is leaving a record of what you did in relation to what was going on in the world. It does not matter what you did while here as long as you wrote down a records. That is what family history is all about. 

The reason why I wrote this Family Genealogy Series was to bring our ;

1. common history to our present members of our common family

2. common history to our future family members

3. migration and family mixing information about our past families

4. many families that we have, move, migrated, and mixed with other peoples.

I told you about Amanda Ann Williams III. She gave a presentation to her history class about her native family. The teacher just about told her that she was making it all up. 

Now what if she gave a presentation that was a lie but everyone would agree with? What if she said her family was from Africa but that is all she knew. That basically what schools are teaching people of color. They want every person of color to say that they have the same history. It does not matter if they do or not. 

Here is why people of color have no self esteem. As others talk about their ancestors, many of us sit in class with a blank look on our face while they tell us our history like they know it. Usually, they tell us about a hand full of Black people in very few words then move on to European and White American History.

Why send your children to school, have them listen to how Whites migrated to America? What do children of color do while this conversation is going on? Look straight ahead and wonder why no one is telling then what is going on. All they hear is negative stuff about their past and their personal family. They conclude that that is the way it is and that is the way it will always be.

We have the ability to say who we are if we just take the time to teach ourselves?  You have that ability to do so. I don't care if your people are a bunch of drunks and losers. All you have to do is post names, what they did for a living and what was going on in their life time.

Boosting self-esteem in African American children starts with family and heritage

I can remember people saying to me, start recording at my generation, start writing at our Genealogy. Why? Because they were ashamed of ourselves. If that was the case, nothing would be written today about anyone. Do you think Columbus and General Pickett were choir boys?   

What we can do next?

Oh you think people inside and outside our family do not care about this information? Well look at how many people read these blogs in the past 30 days!

I created this 17 series blog called The Family Genealogy. It is a "Work in Progress." It is up to you to work on the next part of this Genealogy. You must start the next part of this Family Genealogy by placing the parts and people in it that I did not cover. You must create the next Family Reunion for the next generation. So far I was alive when the family had the;

1976 Joe Blue Reunion in Stony Point, Va.

1986 Darnell L Williams Reunion in Charlotesville, Va..

2015 Wanda Pritchett Reunion in Lower Paxton, Pa.
