In this heartwarming and culturally rich episode of The Phat Girl Chronicles, we dive into the powerful, unique concept of family in the Black community with the episode titled Thas My Play Cousin: Kinship Ties and Blood Bonds Within The African American Family. As part of our REAL BLACK DISSERTATIONS series for October, this episode explores the informal but deeply significant kinship structures that extend beyond biological ties and the essential role they play in creating resilient, supportive communities. From “play cousins” to “aunties” who aren't related by blood, we'll take a deep look at how these relationships form, their cultural significance, and the emotional bonds that often hold as much weight as blood relationships. We'll discuss how these non-traditional family ties provide emotional support, communal caregiving, and a sense of belonging that is essential in Black culture, especially in the face of historical challenges and systemic pressures. Join us for a candid and heartfelt conversation as we celebrate the beauty of extended family, dive into the meaning of kinship, and explore how these connections are passed down through generations. This episode will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the relationships that aren't bound by blood but by love, loyalty, and shared experiences. This episode will celebrate the beauty of family ties that go beyond bloodlines, offering a glimpse into the rich tradition of kinship in Black culture that provides support, love, and community.

Duane Shepherd is a relative and family spokes person for the descendants of the owners of Bruce Beach. Back in the 1920's it was a popular beach destination for black beach goers but the City of Manhattan Beach took the property from this African American Family so that it could use it expressly for the benefit of its white citizens. Now, the County of Los Angeles is choosing to return the valuable beachfront property back to the descendants. This is incredible news..... and an incredible California story...

Next, they explore the history of the Black family in the United States (15:45) and highlight distinctive features of African American families (20:17).

Today on Sojourner Truth: The latest on Ukraine as things are heating up between Russia and the United States-backed Ukrainian government. Tensions still simmer from the vote people in the Crimea took to be annexed to Russia, with whom it has a long historical and cultural relationship. A vote that Western powers never recognized and accused Russia of illegally annexing Crimea from Ukraine. Now, both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are in Argentina for the G20 Summit. They were expected to have a sit down meeting. Complicating the situation is the Mueller probe. Paul Manafort, who headed the Trump campaign at some point, is said to have lied about his relationship with former Russian-backed President of Ukraine Victor Yanukovych. Yanukovych was overthrown in a U.S.-backed coup and replaced with U.S. and Western-leaning Petro Poroshenko. Our guest is Nicolai Petro, the Silvia-Chandley Professor of Peace Studies and Nonviolence at the University of Rhode Island. He was a Fulbright scholar in Ukraine in 2013-2014, and is the author of a well-received article in The Nation magazine titled "Ukraine's Pinochet Scenario." And, for our weekly Earth Watch, new threats to the Amazon Rainforest with the election of far-right president Bolsonaro to head the government in Brazil. Our guest is Christian Poirier, a senior member of Amazon Watch's team. Having coordinated the Brazil Program since 2009, Christian also led the organization's efforts to encourage a shift toward non-hydro energy alternatives in Brazil's electricity matrix. And the impact of homelessness on women and children. The fastest growing population of the homeless in LA County and across the country are mothers with their children. We're joined by Angela James, she holds a Ph.D. in Sociology, and has written on a variety of topics regarding race, inequality, and family. She is co-author, along with Donna L. Franklin, of the revised paperback edition of Ensuring Inequality: Structural Transformations of the African American Family, Oxford University Press. 2015. Two people have died in immigration detention. Maru Mora Villalpando, herself undocumented and a Mexican activist, organizer and mother, will break all of this down for us. Simultaneously, there is a hunger strike that is underway in Yarl's Wood, which is a women's detention center in the United Kingdom.

Today on Sojourner Truth: The latest on Ukraine as things are heating up between Russia and the United States-backed Ukrainian government. Tensions still simmer from the vote people in the Crimea took to be annexed to Russia, with whom it has a long historical and cultural relationship. A vote that Western powers never recognized and accused Russia of illegally annexing Crimea from Ukraine. Now, both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are in Argentina for the G20 Summit. They were expected to have a sit down meeting. Complicating the situation is the Mueller probe. Paul Manafort, who headed the Trump campaign at some point, is said to have lied about his relationship with former Russian-backed President of Ukraine Victor Yanukovych. Yanukovych was overthrown in a U.S.-backed coup and replaced with U.S. and Western-leaning Petro Poroshenko. Our guest is Nicolai Petro, the Silvia-Chandley Professor of Peace Studies and Nonviolence at the University of Rhode Island. He was a Fulbright scholar in Ukraine in 2013-2014, and is the author of a well-received article in The Nation magazine titled "Ukraine's Pinochet Scenario." And, for our weekly Earth Watch, new threats to the Amazon Rainforest with the election of far-right president Bolsonaro to head the government in Brazil. Our guest is Christian Poirier, a senior member of Amazon Watch's team. Having coordinated the Brazil Program since 2009, Christian also led the organization's efforts to encourage a shift toward non-hydro energy alternatives in Brazil's electricity matrix. And the impact of homelessness on women and children. The fastest growing population of the homeless in LA County and across the country are mothers with their children.

“Here in America, the average African American Family has average income of $17.600. The average white family in America has income of $171,000. That is a huge gap and I for one believe that it’s based off of the lack of resources and opportunities and years and years of discrimination and things that have held back other minorities down. And I want to allow color to not be something that determines your status or your income status. I want everyone to have an even playing field where there is resources available to succeed and to earn wealth.” The son of a Jamaican immigrant, Darrel D. Frater grew up in an entrepreneurial home. From an early age he understood that the combination of education and entrepreneurship presented opportunities to address the racial wage gap in the United States (particularly in urban communities). Today Darrel is host of the Urban Entrepreneur Podcast, co-owner of Advance Homes Kitchen and Bath Cabinets (with his father), Founder and CEO of Sharpshooters Global, and a partner in a new startup venture called The Urban Entrepreneur Centers of America. The latter two organizations are geared towards helping youth in urban communities see entrepreneurs as a career path. Sharp Shooter Global is a consulting company that directly mentors and assists young entrepreneurs bring ideas to the marketplace. The Urban Entrepreneur Centres of America will be physical locations where young entrepreneurs can meet and participate in entrepreneurial education programs. Much of the programming will be aimed at high school age students. In this episode Darrel talks about the lessons he learned from his father’s entrepreneurial journey and gives us the low down on his plans to support the growth of entrepreneurship in disadvantaged urban communities.

One in three black men can expect to spend some time in prison during his lifetime. Compounding the problem is that African American men receive sentences that are 20 to 50 times longer than white men for the same crime. And for women there is no difference - Black women are more likely to be jailed than any other ethnic group. So what happens to the family when a loved one is incarcerated? What about the children? And when that person gets out, then what? On the next Another View we talk frankly about incarceration and the African American family. Our guests include Dr. Melvin Cotton, former inmate, youth mentor and Senior Pastor of New Genesis Baptist Church; and Quniana Futrell, CEO, Building Resilience in Communities, and author of "Our Moms", a book for children of incarcerated parents.
Are you researching your African-American family tree and not getting as far back as you would like to? You’re not alone, and you are not without resources. There may not be many records on your ancestors, but there are enough that you may find them.

A daily devotional through the recorded words Jesus spoke while He walked alongside us. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee. Jesus told the onlookers at His march to Golgotha not to weep for Him but for themselves. How do you grieve and are you ready to avoid the grief that will come at His return? Scripture Luke 23:28-31 Jesus (to the people in the crowd): Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me. Weep instead for yourselves and weep for your children. Days are coming when people will say, “Blessed are the infertile; blessed are the wombs that never bore a child; blessed are the breasts that never nursed an infant.” People will beg the mountains, “Surround us!” They'll plead with the hills, “Cover us!” For if they treat Me like this when I'm like green unseasoned wood, what will they do to a nation that's ready to burn like seasoned firewood? Devotional Military travel gives opportunity to observe various cultural differences in the grieving process Native-American Tribes are different Some burial is not important and may not even bury the body but let nature dispose of remains Some bury observing the importance of a circle symbolizing the circle of life Most are not concerned about preserving the body, so embalming is not a concern but mutilation is taboo. Asking for native american to donate organs may be seen as disrespectful Asian-American Very concerned about the body Watertight casket Warm clothing Stoic so might be depressed from internalizing grief Picture or plaque of the deceased along with personal items kept in the home as a memorial or shrine African-American Family and friends gather Might express great emotion Cremation not as readily accepted as in other cultures Sharing meals with loved ones Wear white as symbol of resurrection Integration of church observances Haitian-American Family and friends gather at home of deceased Wear dark clothing to funeral and as sign of mourning Share meals before and after the funeral Express great emotion Hispanic-American Dependence on priest for arrangements Gathering of family and friends Many family and friends participate in procession and in service Family members often make promises in name of deceased Money gifts common to help defray expenses European-American Family and friends comfort family at home of deceased Funeral director or clergy help in arrangements Dark clothing although now more color to mark celebration of the life of the deceased Funerals usually more somber Gather at home of survivors for meal or refreshments after funeral service and interment Lots of forms of grief, Jesus says don't grieve for Him, but for us. He's coming back and we need to be ready when He comes. Imagine what that day must be like if those who are left will be asking the mountains to fall on them rather than face the events God has in store for them. We might grieve in different ways, but don't be caught needing to grieve on that day. It won't be a pretty sight grieving for yourself. If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don't, tell me. I hope you'll join me again tomorrow for "A Little Walk with God."

AND THE MARXISM CONTINUES! The Phillipsburg Wrestlers are being sued by an African American Family (whose child was on the Paulsboro Team) claiming emotional suffrage. See NBC10 http://nj1015.com/lawsuit-filed-over-phillipsburg-wrestling-photo/. The punishing continues even after the boys apologized and admitted they never meant the photo to symbolize anything racist. They were punished by not being allowed to futher their efforts in the wrestling comptetion and suspended by the school district. The event started when the boys wanted to celebrate a victory and their moving on in the competition. They celebrated by hanging a dark brown leather(90 percent of the dummies manufactured in wrestling are that color-A FACT NOT MENTIONED IN THE ORIGINAL STAR LEDGER ARTICLE) dummy on a noose and one boy wore a hoodie. It was then posted on the net and was only meant to be a prank, never a racist statement. Paulsboro saw it and reported it to the Star Ledger (who put the adult spin on it and spread it around -callin it a racist statement). The newspapers then went and posted the students names (including the underage ones) all over the net. The students are being investigated by the NJ Civil Rights Division for Federal Charges on Hate Crimes. This is a law that does not apply to whites when whites are attacked by blacks . CASE 2: CONDI RICE: "YOU CAN' SPEAK AT RUTGERS GRADUATION." ACADEMIC FREEDOM DENIED!

The Genealogy Gems Podcast with Lisa Louise Cooke - Your Family History Show
Come along as we solve a family history mystery with high-tech and low-tech tools, discuss who to begin African-American research, explore newly available Canadian records, and contemplate the value of work as well as the values we want to pass on to our kids and grandkids. NEWS: Canadian Genealogical Records Now Available If you have Canadian kin, you'll be pleased to hear that the 1825 census of Lower Canada is now searchable online. The 1825 census of Lower Canada counted nearly half a million people. Heads of household were actually named, with other members of the household counted by category. You can search by household name or geographic location. The 1921 census counted 8.8 million people in thousands of communities across Canada. According to the Library and Archives Canada Blog, the population questionnaire had 35 questions. The census also collected data on “agriculture; animals, animal products, fruits not on farms; manufacturing and trading establishments; and [a] supplemental questionnaire for persons who were blind and deaf. This represents a total of 565 questions.” The census was released this past June 1 from the national Statistics office to the Library and Archives. That office is processing and scanning the nearly 200,000 images for public use. It hopes to have them posted soon. You can start looking for your Canadian ancestors in the at which include that 1825 census and a new version of the 1891 census, too. If your family arrived in Canada after the 1921 census, check out the website for The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, where a million immigrants landed between 1928-1971. The much-anticipated (but little-publicized) 1921 Canadian census is now online and available for browsing at They anticipate releasing an index later this year. When you click on the first link above, you'll see that Ancestry.ca's collection of Canadian census data goes back to 1851. Check out my post above to learn about online data back to 1825. It's getting easier all the time to find your Canadian ancestors online! Genealogy Roadshow on PBS: More Genealogy TV Lovers of Who Do You Think You Are! and other genealogy TV favorites will be pleased to know that Genealogy Roadshow is filming for airing this fall on PBS. This has already been a popular series in Ireland, where Genealogy Roadshow is in its second season. The series premieres in the U.S. on KQED on Monday September 23. MAILBOX: Death Certificate Confusion Scott writes: “I wanted to send this death certificate to you and maybe you could talk about it on your podcast. It's a reminder we can't take what we see at face value even from a primary source created at the time of the event. On one line it says he died Jan 17, 1937 and another it says the attending doctor saw him alive on February 17 of the same year. But then he was buried on Jan 20th. It's really not all that clear whether the events took place in January or February from just this document.” Lisa's Reply: What is really fascinating about this document is how the slight variation in handwriting gives away the problem. The doctor was very detailed with the variety of dates he entered as Feb. when events took place. His “3” generally stands up or even tips forward a bit. But the Registrar, Mr. Popeland, distinctly tilts his “3” and “7” back a bit. And his hand is also heavier. Very quickly you see that Dr. Brallier completed his portion of the form and then, I would guess later, Mr. Popeland completed the remainder of the form and filed it. The big question is who made the mistake: was Mr. Popeland correct that it was January, or was Dr. Brallier correct that is was February? I searched Ancestry and MyHeritage because I was anxious to know the answer. After an initial search neither Dempsey nor his wife Ruby Lee appeared, which is rather curious. After trying all types of name variations, I finally went to our old friend, . I search on his wife "Ruby Lee Danner" in quotation marks and up popped one result - . Searching “Dempsey Danner” in quotation marks resulted in 7 hits, 3 of which were him, including an obituary at the Dr. Braillier has been vindicated. Perhaps Mr. Popeland had filed one too many certificates that day, or had his mind on something else as he entered January in the remaining blanks. And once again, the case is made that the person who was there at the time of the event in person got it right, and the one recording the event later did not. Kate shares some old time photo resources: “…Old Time DC on Facebook. It's brilliant. It's a collection of DC photos from the past. It's not owned by anyone and anyone can post. I love looking at old photos trying to figure out what the world was like before…It would be so wonderful if people in various cities starting compiling things like this Old TIme DC Facebook page. Many families have shared interest in various places and streets but most people didn't think to take photos of those things.” Lisa's Tip: Try searching for names of towns and keywords like “photos” and “history” to see if there are similar groups on Facebook that can benefit your research. My example: I found a similar Facebook page for Margate Kent . It's a terrific use of social media! GEM: Interview with Dr. Deborah Abbott Genealogy Gems contributor Sunny Morton interviews Dr. Deborah Abbott, Ph.D., an adjunct faculty member at the Institute of Genealogy & Historical Research (IGHR) at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama and currently serves as a Trustee on the Board of the Ohio Genealogical Society (OGS). Dr. Abbott specializes in African American genealogy, slavery, court records as well as methodology. Her genealogical research project about an African American Family from Kentucky entitled "From Slavery to Freedom to Antioch" was highlighted in the Cleveland Plain Dealer (Ohio) Newspaper under the title "Six-Volumes to Amplify a Family History" in 2008. In this Gem Dr. Abbott shares her strategies for Starting the Search for African American Roots: Interview your family (both blood and non-blood!) Ask open ended questions Generate feelings Get an entire social history if you can. Try asking a question to frame the question. Like “who was the president when you were 12?” Debbie's Favorite Resources: Ancestry.com and Familysearch.org. Opened at the same time! Go back and forth between the two. Think of Ancestry as “the index” and FamilySearch as the “images.” Example: Ohio Death Index 1908-2007 Slave Research: Follow the Census Research slave holder Pay attention to who is in the house, and who lives around them. Sometimes slave holders and former slaves share first names in addition to last names. “Once we get into the slave era African-America are no longer people, they are property.” You are looking for people as you would other property like land. You must look at the people making the transactions, all the way through their death. Ohio had laws that governed the movements of African-Americans in the early years. Understand the history and the laws in the location and timeframe you are researching. In Ohio –African-Americans had to register. Sat. Sept. 28, 2013 Detroit Public Library – Main Branch Debbie will be teaching on techniques for tracing African-American Roots Lisa will be teaching on Ultimate Google Search Strategies and Tips and Get the Scoop on Your Ancestors with Newspapers. on the Value of Work, Looking to Ancestors for Values, and Passing on our Family's Values to our Kids and Grandkids.
