In 1925, an African-American family had achieved what many others in their position could only dream of-they were free from the shackles of slavery. This was a time when freedom could be purchased, sometimes at a steep price. This family, having worked hard to secure their liberty, was well-to-do, educated, and determined to build a life of prosperity and dignity. Their roots extended beyond America, with connections to Spain and Europe, tying them to the elite of their time. With hopeful hearts, they decided to move to America to pursue the dream of freedom and opportunity-a dream that carried the promise of a brighter future.

Mr. John supported the lynching of his own people. But during this era, whites and blacks fought together to put an end to the hatred in their communities.
