"All slaves have a story to tell. Millions will never get the chance due to death by hanging, lynching and any other forms of murderous torture that were used in those days. Now, I know stories about the Slavery War have been told over and over again, but this one hasn’t been because my great-grandmother was the only survivor of it in all her family. Meaning, she was the last one in my family to be a slave and still alive to tell the story.” ~Nakida “If it wasn’t for my great-grand-daughter asking so many questions and really wanting to know where she comes from, I probably would have taken my story to the grave as well. Slavery was a nasty business and I learned firsthand of the hurt and pain that it caused for those being taken and the families who lost their loved ones and were left behind. As much as I didn’t understand what happened to me, I am somewhat amazed at the outcome.” ~Nakdi
