Sold at just three years old, he never stopped looking for his family.
The slave trade shattered Black families, tearing husbands from wives, parents from children. In the 1880s, a blacksmith placed an ad, hoping to find his people. Today, more than a century later, his descendants are still trying to reunite the family. They need your help.

A huge loss!
I am very sorry to learn of Paul Farmer’s passing. He has given so much to so many! Tangible opportunities as well as inspiration. Sending out prayers to surround his immediate family as well as ALL of us in his huge, extended, global family. It is on us to continue the work.

This!
So many lessons from my friend @nhannahjones, this morning. Go where you are embraced, celebrated, valued and supported. Go where you don’t have to fight for people to see your brilliance. And, avoid spaces if they barely tolerate you, even if they’re familiar and beloved.
