Begin to get youth to acknowledge times in their lives where they were dehumanize

My name is Matthew, I am reaching out to ask for your help with The Arnwine Family for an attorney to help my family fight for justice, i learned about what happened to my family and I knew it was wrong, I am young 20 years old and I wanted to know more of my family history story, my cousin told me and I automatically said that someone needs to fight for justice and I have read the slave Narrative that Sterling Arnwine did with the Federal Writers Project and I was in shock about how they took my family land that was left in the will of Albartis Arnwine my 4th Great Grandfather in Jacksonville Texas, it's sad that nothing has been done about it and no one is fighting for our family. I ordered a t shirt that our family has to wear to let others know and I shared our story on Instagram to get help with our petition and GoFundMe page, we do want the world to know our historical story. My family has and been doing so much to get justice and we need a lawyer quickly to get justice, because we know it will be hard soon to fight with laws changing all the time. I am standing behind my family and we hope you do too. My Family wants me to be the "Youth Leader" for our family because I have learned a lot and it's not a lot of the young people that would listen to the older family members and I can help them understand better because I am the youth of the family, so I can educate them on how important family history is and what happened to our family. I want the world to know about our untold Historical African American story. Please help The Arnwine Family get justice and reparations. We Have NAACP working with us, I'm Proud To be able to share with our young generation my important family story and African American History. Thank You

Antioch Baptist Church of Brooklyn and the Congregation Beth Elohim joined forces with support from the American Jewish Foundation to combat racism and antisemitism. Under the leadership of Rabbi Rachel Timoner and Rev. Dr. Robert M. Waterman, both congregations have committed to developing a community of learning around each other's culture, houses of worship, education, and family by intentionally worshipping together, having shared meals with menus from both cultures, having conversations about our family histories and creating a safe space for these activities. We embarked on this mission almost three years ago and just returned from an overnight joint trip from Brooklyn, New York to Washington DC to visit the Smithsonian African American Museum and the Holocaust Museum, Lincoln and MLK Memorials on MLK Day. Of the 54 attenders 16 of them were young people between the ages of 10 and 25 years old. Thursday's event will be a debrief of our experience while having a meal together at Congregation Beth Elohim, 274 Garfield Place, Brooklyn, New York. All are invited to attend in person or online.
