Our Genealogywise friend, Angela Walton-Raji, has produced and narrated a video entitled Spirit of a Choctaw Freedwoman, which tells a very unique story. The story is that of her great-grandmother, Sallie Walton, who was among a great number of African-Americans enslaved by American Indians. This is an important and poignant story, well produced. If you want to understand a difficult part of history about which many myths persist, see Angela’s work at ireport.com.
Thanks to George Geder and Terrance Garnett for the tip.
