"INCREDIBLY INSPIRING..." —E. Wairimu

If you, like me, watch and love classic movies, particularly Gone With The Wind, you may wonder what really caused producers to bar accurate depictions of certain races from the silver screen; OF PROVIDENCE answers that question.

Learn what role senate and congressional leaders played in promoting exclusion. Sit in on secret congressional hearings we now have access to, but was banned a century ago. Marvel at debate sessions and arguments against laws that would incorporate all citizens into American society.

My ancestry search examined the connection between American laws and the relationship between two of the most studied groups in American history—African Americans and Native Americans. For a time, they united to survive and become stronger, then one turned against the other for the same reason.
