“After the Civil War, there’s a lot of movement of African Americans around the country,” a curator at the National Museum of African American History and Culture says. 'What they're doing is trying to reconnect family members.”
Feb. 14, 2022, 8:15 PM UTCThroughout slavery, Black family units were in constant danger of disruption, and those in bondage had no control over the structure of their families, let alone their lives.
During Reconstruction, from 1865 to 1877, 4 million previously enslaved Black people worked to establish themselves in their new independence. Three new constitutional amendments, Crew said, “changed the nature of citizenship in this country.” The end of slavery also gave the opportunity for African Americans to reconnect with family members displaced over generations.
“Faith is what brings the community together with faces,” Crew said. “Faith gives you the kind of attitude and worldview in which you can forgive others for the kind of terrible things that they do and to move forward.” Many Black families were also separated by far distances, making it difficult for family members to travel and find them.
