Last week I was on the air with @angeladavisMPR and mentioned that I have ancestors who are Cherokee Freedmen. This is a picture of my CF paternal great-great grandfather Jerry Vann taken some time around 1884.
I was told growing up that we “have Cherokee” in the Williams family. I didn’t learn until much later that we’re descended from people enslaved by the Cherokee who themselves were driven from their ancestral land by the US govt and forced west to the state now known as Oklahoma.
If you are interested in learning more about the Cherokee Freedmen, there are lots of great resources out there. okhistory.org/learn/freedmen I’m still learning about this part of my family. And I’d love to hear from others who also share this heritage.

Add me to the list of reporters profoundly saddened by the death of Ken Barcus. He was old school. Always asked 'so where's the story here? why should people care?' Ken helped me iron that out whenever we worked together. RIP npr.org/2022/10/11/112484764…
