[close] Excerpt from Chapter 5: Ada and Isaac From the Author: In 2019, a decades-old photo surfaced of an elected public official wearing a Klu Klux Klan costume. When he was confronted by the media regarding it, rather than displaying remorse, the official made light of the situation. As I watched the interview, an inferno of anger was ignited within me, because in 2015, my aunt and I embarked on a family genealogy project, and we could not trace back our ancestors beyond the first freed slaves. I felt robbed of my family history! Nonetheless, in that moment, instead of emptying my feelings on social media, I began to fill in the missing pieces of my family's history and created my ancestors' stories. I used the names of my foremothers: Caroline, Ada, and Lucille, and incorporated some of the true events I discovered during my ancestral research to give my ancestors an identity and a proper story. Since I had the pen to create their characters, I made them dignified, articulate, and full of wisdom.
