Becoming Ancestral with Steve
In this episode of SolFul Connections Amanda connects with Stephen Hammond. What does it mean to be connected to the first family of the United States AND to an enslaved person? How do you reconcile being linked to the history housed on the land of Arlington National Cemetary when that history is one of triumph and loss, pain and restoration? In Steve's case, he has made it his mission to explore the ancestral inhabitation that is part of his own DNA while helping our nation do the same.
Join in the discussion and think about your own journey and the lifetimes before you that have made you who you are today.
