Charleston, SC, Jan. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Do you know where your family comes from? What about the lies they’ve told that perpetuate to this day?
When Marie began to research her genealogy 20 years ago, she expected to find information about her proud Native American history. She didn’t intend to find that she was related to the likes of Columbus, Mary Magdalene, and Shakespeare.
As exciting as it was to discover her lineage to some of history’s “greats,” it was equally disturbing when she unearthed the frightening reality that some of her ancestors were not only victimized, but also oppressors of their own people. They had even contributed to the false narratives passed down to this day!
In Black, Red, Yellow, and White Lies Still Matter: To Fix the House My Great-Grandfathers and Grandmothers Built, Marie works to set the record straight for both her family and human history.
Black, Red, Yellow, and White Lies Still Matter: To Fix the House My Great-Grandfathers and Grandmothers Built is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. For more information about the author, please visit any of her social media platforms
