Evidence

In the six weeks between writing me that first message on Facebook and being on this Zoom call, the Moores had mobilized more than forty other relatives to sign a letter they had written collaboratively, supporting my claim as Renty’s descendant and wanting to do whatever they could to repair the damage their ancestor had inflicted on my family, as well as the world, vis-à-vis his racist theories. — Tamara Lanier, From These Roots, 885
