Alabama
I’ve finally got my copy of Sold Down The River: Slavery in the Lower Chattahoochee Valley of Alabama and Georgia …. and lo and behold, John Wallace Comer is on page 199.
The caption reads: “John Wallace Comer of the Confederate States Army and his slave Burnell. They lived in Barbour County, Alabama. Courtesy of the Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.”
Too bad about 15 year old Willie Kiels.
Too bad about all the White people who have been murdered, raped, and robbed since 1965 … who have been driven out of their homes because of the Voting Rights Act.
Mighty is delighted to learn about his ancestors, too …
I take much pride in this photo:

That black slave’s ancestors in Africa could have been slave owners. When Europeans came to Africa to buy slaves, black africans had been slave owners of other black africans for generations.
Mighty! Well done!
Here are my most famous, or infamous relatives:

I’ll put this here. We now all an all White TV series! PANAM, about flying in 1963.
ABC Sundays 10E, 9C. Watch “Pilot” here http://abc.go.com/watch/pan-am/SH55126544/VD55144385/pilot
It looks like Dallas is right on the line. I think we have too many immigrants…legal and not, not to mention refugees/asylum seekers. There have also been reports of more blacks moving to Dallas…which I have noticed in their vastly increased numbers in the past decades.
oops, I meant to post under the “Dixie” post. Sorry.
Do you have any great, great, great grand niglets off Burnell for sale? I could use some help with the yard work.

Mighty is STILL delighted to learn about his ancestors …
