Stitched Together: Freedom Colony Families Along the Cibolo – an open commonplace notebook

I am writing a book about the formerly enslaved people who lived in Freedom Colonies along the Cibolo Creek in Wilson County, Texas. I am opening a commonplace notebook in this blog with bits of my research, hoping that others can add more to the amazing stories about resilience, strength, and tenacity that I have been discovering among these people. Are you a descendant of one of these people? Do you know some stories about the Freedom Colonies in Wilson County, Texas? Please let me know.
