Thank you Kathleen Sanders for sharing the story of your grandmother, Ms Katie Johnson Warren. I grew up hearing about Freedman Town and was always fascinated by it. I love history. I love learning history. I would love to see your film /documentary.
Wonderful History. Reminds me of the Ruth Hartley Mosley Home....A Black Woman that was the first registered Nurse in Georgia and Philanthropist. Her home is still used as a educational center after she donated the home in a trust. In fact we just filmed one of my Independent films there. The local news came to interview our film project there. It's an amazing home with so many precious timed items still filling the home.
Our Black history desperately needs to be talked about more, in the 50s we'd hear from our Grandparents some but not nearly enough, thank you for sharing yours.
There once was a "Freedman's Town" here in Houston, Texas. The area is called Mid-Town. There is an organization that is trying to put the descendants back into that community. Gentrification is a reality😢
My ancestors lived a place called Freetown in south Louisiana. The community built a gate and charged white planters to travel down their road as a shortcut to one of the local sugar cane mills.
This is needed for our communities ...especially our young people
History we all need to know.
Exactly
Exactly.

This isn’t black history. It’s her black family history. Mine is totally different and l’m sure yours is too. ❤
It's an absolutely lovely home. Nice knowing they family is hanging on to it.
