It was designed as a <i>listening space, </i>a place where military-connected people could offer their lived experiences as testimony about service, democracy, civil rights, family, and belonging. </span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">We were there because military service is often discussed through numbers, policies, deployments, and wars, while the voices of the people and families living through those experiences can be overlooked. Secure Families Initiative wanted to bring those voices forward and place them in conversation with advocates, elected officials, educators, historians, community leaders, and one another.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">The invitation asked us, to tell the fuller story: not only why people serve, but what service asks of them; what their families carry; what challenges await them when they return home; and whether the nation they defended fully sees, supports, and includes them afterward.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">That was why my story belonged there.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was not invited solely because I had served in the Army. I was invited because my life carries several sides of the military-family experience. I am the daughter of a World War II veteran who served in a segregated colored unit on Utah Beach DDay+2 in Normandy. I am the birth daughter of a Vietnam-era service member who later made a career in the Marine Corps with over 20 years of service. I am a Black woman who served in the Army during the 1990s and also as Army wife of a soldier who served 20 years. I am also the mother of a soldier who deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan with the 101st Screaming Eagles as Air Assault at Fort Campbell. </span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">My experience allowed me to speak not only as a veteran, but as someone who has lived with military service from nearly every position within a family.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">And as a family historian, I understood the responsibility of preserving what every generation endured after the official military record ended.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">The gathering was intended to connect personal testimony with the larger American story. It asked us to consider how military service intersects with race, gender, citizenship, opportunity, and the continuing effort to make democracy live up to its promises. My family’s four generations of first-borns gave that conversation a <i>living</i> timeline.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">We were there to listen to one another, but we were also there to leave a record.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">We were still here.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;">We were still serving our communities.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And we were still speaking about what military families have carried—before war, during war, and long after coming home.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj8ff-0HGN5mNvfYnJexs-LtJgVu25xfozO-DDWC9gUlOpz5euaUaGMv7eRP_c7nSlK7jx82FsYkRhn-YUnddELcp5cGDUNifIKRSfNRpYK1wzmjL7w16DIsb8HOp61M0I8HFLKiE7aq2NkmCWuLPZW_U9s9Vv9i7EvP

He, too, had served in the Army and returned to a segregated Alabama. He went on to become a major voice in education, civil rights, and political life. His presence reminded me that many <i>Black veterans</i> returned from defending freedom abroad and then continued the fight for citizenship and dignity here at home.</span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Birmingham</i> was the right place for this conversation because its history holds both the pain of injustice and the courage of people who demanded that America live up to its promises. In a city shaped by the struggle for civil rights, we could speak honestly about military service, sacrifice, democracy, and the long journey toward full citizenship and belonging. </span></p><p class="isSelectedEnd"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj1NKwXgyxlFkGaE3A2RWXQPM9rXRKRhNNnIPxi9TfEReNuR-WQszMi8-RFymC6Lfhz4T35P5pcUAccp7x3mNdD0iyaa0UaA9RHz9XwKzM1Z9dXfsXGcCBgBXuscPV1wJA5zxqwnpSYfB5ePq_4ZES0QA6lU_Ip2jb1D6iLYFIjDGmNYEJIMm8ostwvbAd8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj1NKwXgyxlFkGaE3A2RWXQPM9rXRKRhNNnIPxi9TfEReNuR-WQszMi8-RFymC6Lfhz4T35P5pcUAccp7x3mNdD0iyaa0UaA9RHz9XwKzM1Z9dXfsXGcCBgBXuscPV1wJA5zxqwnpSYfB5ePq_4ZES0QA6lU_Ip2jb1D6iLYFIjDGmNYEJIMm8ostwvbAd8=w640-h480" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thank you to <i>Secure Families Initiative</i> and all the expert Panelists in their own right. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-end="3333" data-start="3173"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong data-end="3197" data-start="3173"><i>Mel and Regina Mason</i></strong><br data-end="3200" data-start="3197" /> 1388Community leaders whose work and experiences contributed to the conversation about service, justice, family, and civic participation.<span aria-hidden="true" class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchor"></span></span></p><p data-end="3461" data-start="3335"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong data-end="3350" data-start="3335"><i>Troy Mosley</i></strong><br data-end="3353" data-start="3350" /> 1389Military-connected leadership and advocacy, adding a veteran or national-service perspective to the program.</span></p><p data-end="3623" data-start="3463"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong data-end="3486" data-start="3463"><i>Valencia Richardson</i></strong><br data-end="3489" data-start="3486" /> 1390Civic-engagement and voting-rights expertise, helping connect personal testimony with democracy and access to political participation.</span></p><p data-end="3969" data-start="3819"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong data-end="3833" data-start="3819"><i>Kyle Bibby</i></strong><br data-end="3836" data-start="3833" /> 1391Veteran and public advocate whose work connects military service, leadership, democracy, and the experiences of Black service members.

It was a homecoming, a week of teaching, learning, remembrance, with gratitude.</span></p> 1467<p data-end="501" data-start="456"><span style="font-size: medium;">Before I arrived at Auburn, I went down home.</span></p> 1468<p data-end="871" data-start="503"><span style="font-size: medium;">I returned to Mt. Coney Baptist Church, my family church since 1875. I attended worship, walked among the graves, and spent time remembering the ancestors whose lives made my own journey possible. Before the university classrooms, microphones, museums, and public programs, I needed to stand on the ground where so much of my family’s story began.</span></p> 1469<p data-end="922" data-start="873"><span style="font-size: medium;">That visit gave the entire week a deeper meaning.</span></p> 1470<p data-end="1216" data-start="924"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was not simply traveling to Alabama to give a presentation. I was carrying my parents, grandparents, and ancestors with me. I was carrying the stories of people who lived through slavery, emancipation, Reconstruction, migration, military service, family separation, perseverance, and faith.</span></p> 1471<p data-end="1434" data-start="1218"><span style="font-size: medium;">My presentation, <strong data-end="1291" data-start="1235">“My True Roots’ Journey to the American Revolution,”</strong> traced that family story from the fields of Alabama to Pennsylvania and ultimately to my Revolutionary War Patriot ancestor, Nicholas Barrick.</span></p> 1472<p data-end="1522" data-start="1436"><span style="font-size: medium;">It was the story of how one family history can hold many American experiences at once.</span></p> 1473<p data-end="2153" data-start="1870"><span style="font-size: medium;">For years, I have gathered names from census records, military files, church minutes, marriage records, cemetery stones, oral histories, photographs, and family memories. At Auburn, I was given the opportunity to bring those pieces together and share them as a living American story. </span></p><p data-end="2153" data-start="1870"><br /></p><h3 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-end="797" data-section-id="2of5sq" data-start="759"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The Email I Almost Did Not Believe</span><span aria-hidden="true" class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchor"></span></h3><p data-end="1086" data-start="799"><span style="font-size: medium;">Dr. Mark Wilson guided me throughout this entire experience. As Director of Auburn University’s Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts and Humanities, he helped make the residency, presentations, community visits, and introductions possible. <span data-state="closed"></span></span></p><p data-end="1168" data-start="1088"><span style="font-size: medium;">I still smile when I remember receiving that first email from Auburn University.</span></p><p data-end="1207" data-start="1170"><span style="font-size: medium;">At first, I thought it might be fake.</span></p><p data-end="1488" data-start="1209"><span style="font-size: medium;">I wondered, <em data-end="1294" data-start="1221">Who from such a prestigious university in Alabama would be emailing me?</em> The invitation seemed almost too extraordinary to believe. My husband encouraged me to look more closely and pointed out that the email address carried Auburn University’s official designation.</span></p><p data-end="1546" data-start="1490"><span style="font-size: medium;">He said, “You may want to answer that email.”</span></p><p data-end="1576" data-start="1548"><span style="font-size: medium;">I am so grateful that I did.</span></p><p data-end="2153" data-start="1870"> 1474 1475 1476 1477 1478 1479 1480 1481</p>

Dr. Wilson welcomed me, encouraged me, and remained present throughout the week as I shared my family’s journey with students, historians, community members, and organizations across Alabama. </span></p><p data-end="1854" data-start="1578"><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Teaching at Auburn University</span></h3> 1482<p data-end="252" data-start="34"><span style="font-size: medium;">During my residency, I had the honor of speaking with students in two <a href="https://www.auburn.edu/">Auburn University</a> history courses at Lowder Hall: <strong data-end="208" data-start="154">Dr. E. Gaddis’s Fundamentals of Public History</strong> and <strong data-end="251" data-start="213">Dr. Baltzkonis’s Historian’s Craft</strong>.</span></p> 1483<p data-end="572" data-start="254"><span style="font-size: medium;">Each class gave me the opportunity to share how family history can become a doorway into the larger American story. We discussed genealogy, public history, archival research, oral history, and the responsibility historians have to preserve the lives of people whose experiences may not appear in traditional textbooks.</span></p> 1484<p data-end="718" data-start="574"><span style="font-size: medium;">I wanted the students to understand that history is not found only in famous speeches, government documents, or the lives of well-known figures.</span></p> 1485<p data-end="766" data-start="720"><span style="font-size: medium;">History can be found in a grandmother’s Bible, in a church cemetery. It can be found in an agricultural schedule showing what an ancestor planted, raised, and harvested, military morning reports, marriage licenses issued after emancipation, family photographs, <i><b>oral traditions</b></i>, and the memories passed down around a kitchen table.</span></p> 1486<p data-end="1316" data-start="1090"><span style="font-size: medium;">I shared how my own research began, teaching those classes allowed me to show the students that personal history is not separate from public history. When carefully researched and placed within its proper historical context, one family’s story can help us better understand the history of a community, a state, and the nation.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Honoring My Parents’ Story</span></h3> 1487<p data-end="3226" data-start="3133"><span style="font-size: medium;">One of the greatest blessings of the residency was the opportunity to tell my parents’ story.</span></p> 1488<p data-end="3560" data-start="3228"><span style="font-size: medium;">Their lives are part of a larger American story involving race, family, adoption, military service, migration, identity, and belonging. I have often said that I was born between worlds. Through genealogy, I learned that those worlds were not separate. They were connected through the people, places, and choices that shaped my life.</span></p> 1489<p data-end="3629" data-start="3562"><span style="font-size: medium;">
1489Standing before an audience and sharing that journey was emotional.</span></p> 1490<p data-end="3827" data-start="3631"><span style="font-size: medium;">I understood that I was not speaking only for myself. I was serving as a vessel for the people whose voices were not always recorded, preserved, or welcomed into the official historical narrative. Their names deserve to be remembered.</span></p> 1491<h3 data-end="3970" data-section-id="1o9cq6" data-start="3942"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Reuniting with My Mentor</span></h3> 1492<p data-end="4067" data-start="3972"><span style="font-size: medium;">The week also gave me the precious opportunity to spend time with my mentor, Mr. Dean Spratlan of the Bullock County Historical Society. </span></p> 1493<p data-end="4338" data-start="4069"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mentors often see something in us before we fully recognize it in ourselves. Mr. Spratlan has encouraged my research, respected the history of my family and community, and helped me understand the value of placing personal genealogy within the larger historical record.</span></p> 1494<p data-end="4633" data-start="4340"><span style="font-size: medium;">Seeing him again during this important week made the experience feel complete. It reminded me that none of us does this work alone. Behind every researcher, writer, teacher, and storyteller are people who offered encouragement, opened a door, answered a question, or simply said, “Keep going.”</span></p> 1495<h3 data-end="4661" data-section-id="1h6tg9j" data-start="4635"><span style="font-weight: normal;">A Warm Alabama Welcome</span></h3> 1496<p data-end="4727" data-start="4663"><span style="font-size: medium;">Throughout the week, I was welcomed with extraordinary kindness.</span></p> 1497<p data-end="5001" data-start="4729"><span style="font-size: medium;">I spoke with members of the historic <a href="https://www.leecountyalnaacp.org/">Lee County NAACP Chapter #5038</a>. That gathering connected my family story to the continuing work of citizenship, civil rights, voting, education, and community leadership. I was able to share my Cousin Aaron Sellers and his fight suing the Bullock County Voting Registration Board and the amazing life he had also starting a NAACP Chapter in Bullock County, Alabama and how he testified in the Votings Rights Commission in Montgomery. </span></p> 1498<p data-end="5287" data-start="5003"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <a href="https://wetumpkaal.gov/356/Elmore-County-Black-History-Museum">Elmore County Black History Museum </a>, in Wetumpka where I witnessed the importance of preserving local African American history. Community museums like this one protect the names, photographs, documents, and memories that might otherwise be lost. </span></p> 1499<p data-end="5557" data-start="5289"><span style="font-size: medium;">Their work reminded me that history does not belong only to large institutions. Some of our most important stories are being preserved in small museums, churches, family collections, and local historical organizations by people who understand exactly what is at stake. </span></p><p data-end="5557" data-start="5289"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p> 1500<h3 data-end="5585" data-section-id="55f9qp" data-start="5559"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZer2DVbHjKJ80xoA9Q-dUAd3KEEtHQYVoCRikEX749m8QCsCLvcjLMpjQFrTC0rIGCrvBi7YT8xkqtHHPQnbiD0WuJomTNjOFCAvbS0qqPSLoT2aVObXXHpvS39b0mTtZYRwTFHKI3uI7Vj9PZo6h_OAYG9g_63Q-YoY2tcYk70mNydLxT

Sitting in the archives and examining historical materials connected to my ancestors gave me another opportunity to place their lives within Alabama’s broader history. <span data-end="517" data-start="459">Greg Schmidt, Head of Special Collections and Archives gave me a wonderful time and talked with me and Dr. Wilson about all they had. </span></span></p><p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-end="377" data-start="51"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span data-end="517" data-start="459"><br /></span></span></p><h3 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-end="60" data-section-id="30g1f2" data-start="0">Sharing the DAR Today Podcast with the Alabama Daughters<span aria-hidden="true" class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchor"></span></h3><p data-end="246" data-start="62"><span style="font-size: medium;">Another unforgettable part of my Alabama experience was attending the 128th Alabama State Conference, not only as a visiting Daughter, but as the <strong data-end="245" data-start="202">National Chair of the DAR Today Podcast </strong><span data-end="245" data-start="202">as guest. </span></span></p><p data-end="661" data-start="248"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was honored to present a workshop explaining why DAR Today is more than simply a podcast. It is a national storytelling, educational, communications, and preservation tool. Through interviews, historical features, committee spotlights, chapter stories, we are preserving the work of Daughters while making that work accessible to members across the country.</span></p><p data-end="1100" data-start="663"><span style="font-size: medium;">
1504During the workshop, I shared ways chapters can apply many of the same ideas at the local level. A chapter does not need a national production team or expensive equipment to begin. Daughters can record oral histories, interview longtime members, preserve chapter memories, highlight service projects, share local history, and create short audio or digital features that help future generations understand what their chapter accomplished.</span></p><p data-end="1926" data-start="1560"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was deeply grateful to the Alabama State Regent Malinda Williams for inviting me and for making me feel so welcome. The kindness shown to me throughout the conference was overwhelming. I received so many thoughtful gifts, but the greatest gift was the fellowship. I met new Daughters, formed new connections, and enjoyed conversations that made the experience especially memorable.</span></p><p data-end="2245" data-start="1928"><span style="font-size: medium;">There was also a beautiful connection to my years in Pennsylvania. My former Pennsylvania State Regent, <span data-end="2054" data-start="2032">Marguerite H. Fritsch</span>, was in attendance as a guest.

Whenever I traveled down home to Alabama, I found rest there. I found quiet. I found room to think, to search, to contemplate, and to sit among the records of a history that had shaped my family long before I understood how deeply I belonged to it.</span></p> 1519<p data-end="542" data-start="516"><span style="font-size: medium;">It became my secret place.</span></p> 1520<p data-end="910" data-start="544"><span style="font-size: medium;">I could walk through those doors carrying questions, grief, hope, and determination, and somehow leave feeling steadier. Just being surrounded by the documents, exhibits, photographs, and memory held within that place gave me a sense of peace. It reminded me that the lives I was searching for had not disappeared. Their traces were still there, waiting to be found.</span></p> 1521<p data-end="1095" data-start="912"><span style="font-size: medium;">After almost twenty years of returning to that institution, I finally met <strong data-end="1062" data-start="986">Steve Murray, Director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History</strong>

We have watched your journey. Look how far you have come.”</b></i> On that day, I felt as though the place that had held me for so long was finally celebrating the journey with me. </span></p><p data-end="2258" data-start="1874"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></section></div> 1529<h3 data-end="6287" data-section-id="ad9kjm" data-start="6242"><span style="font-size: medium;">A Black History Month I Will Never Forget</span></h3> 1530<p data-end="6376" data-start="6289"><span style="font-size: medium;">To share this story during Black History Month made the experience especially powerful.</span></p> 1531<p data-end="6664" data-start="6378"><span style="font-size: medium;">Black history is American history, and my family’s story demonstrates how deeply those histories are intertwined. </span></p> 1532<p data-end="6822" data-start="6666"><span style="font-size: medium;">America’s 250th anniversary gives us an opportunity to examine the full sweep of that history—not only the celebrated chapters, but also the difficult ones.</span></p> 1533<p data-end="6952" data-start="6824"><span style="font-size: medium;">We can honor the ideals of the American Revolution while also telling the truth about those who were excluded from its promises.</span></p> 1534<p data-end="7036" data-start="6954"><span style="font-size: medium;">We can celebrate freedom while remembering those who continued to struggle for it.</span></p> 1535<p data-end="7759" data-start="7555"><span style="font-size: medium;">From the fields of Alabama to Pennsylvania, and from Slavery to the American Revolution, this journey showed me again that family history is never just about the past.</span></p> 1536<p data-end="7784" data-start="7761"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is about who we are.
