Help Me to Find My People

- The African American Search for Family Lost in Slavery

About Help Me to Find My People

After the Civil War, African Americans placed "information wanted" advertisements in newspapers, searching for missing family members. Inspired by the power of these ads, Heather Andrea Williams uses slave narratives, letters, interviews, public records, and diaries to guide readers back to moments of family separation during slavery when people were sold away from family.
