Silent Gesture, Loud Voice! #GoVote2014

On November 4, 2014November 5, 2014 By RootsGenieIn Musings, NealLeave a comment

In honor of my 3rd great grandfather, Gabriel Neal, a former slave who is listed in the Banks County, Georgia 1867 Return of Registered Voters. For you, and all of my ancestors who couldn’t, I will honor your sacrifice by making sure our voice is heard.
