On this first 5th Monday taping, I had a wonderful conversation with Kenneth, founder of the Descendant Freedmen Alliance of Kansas City. Mr. Ford's ancestry comes out of the Creek Freedman Sells family from Taft Oklahoma. He has become a leader in the Kansas City area, in organizing a group of Oklahoma Freedmen descendants to gather, and study their history coming from the Five Tribes. In this conversation we learn about the how he made a discovery about his own history and later learning how many of ther families in the greater Kansas City area share a similar family story. (To save time for listerners, fast forward to the 30 second mark on the recording where the conversation begins. This will bypass the silent space on the tape.)
