Back in the day, they would mix donor sperm with the parent’s sperm so no one would know which one actually took. So, do with that what you will. 🥴

I highly recommend listening to this compelling issue of @Radiolab, in which @alexandrianeas and genealogist @neeksmith trace her family’s history and the origins of her last name. At moments, I just stood silently, listening and absorbing. Bless you.

It’s been 158 years since Juneteenth, yet lawyers and judges still cite to slave cases for good legal precedent. The Citing Slavery Project provides a database of all slave cases, and the modern cases that use them for precedent. #Juneteenth2023 #Juneteenth

Enslaved people in Cherokee Nation achieved their emancipation by a legislative act in 1863 & were guaranteed citizenship in our tribe by the Treaty of 1866. The history of slavery in Native nations, why often left out, is an important part of the story of slavery in the U.S.

Tomorrow marks 158 years since slavery ended in the U.S., but the legal cases enforcing slavery are still used as good legal precedent by lawyers and judges today. Spend a few minutes tomorrow learning more about this trend at citingslavery.org. #Juneteenth #Juneteenth2023
