This man told, with emotion, of extracting information of fathers who were sold, mothers who were traded and brothers who were shot to death. One record told of a baby traded shortly after her birth for field equipment. The mother did not even have a chance to name her baby.<br>The inmate also said that other inmates were emotional as they did their work. He told of one inmate who began to weep while doing extractions. He said,  I cannot believe the way these people have been treated. The inmate leader reached out to comfort this rying co-inmate and laid his hand on his shoulder and noticed a tattoo: KKK.<br>The feelings of the inmates who did the work were expressed in a letter sent in 1997. Forty-seven inmates signed the following letter:  We anxiously await the completion of this database and hope that people everywhere will use it to search out their ancestors. For most do not realize what it is like to be in bondage. Again, we are thankful for being allowed to serve on this project and do so in the memory of our God, our freedom, our peace, our wives, our children and our ancestors. <br>William Alex Haley concluded,  It is a lot of responsibility. When Roots first came out, I had to change my behavior. I had a family reputation to be aware of. Places I would have gone before without thinking about I began to think about. I thought,  This won t look good for my family if I do this so it reined me in. It reine my children in. Knowing who you are and what responsibility you have towards your family forces your behavior to be consistent with your family values. It passes right down across generations. <br><br>WHO ARE <br>AFRICAN-AMERICANS?<br><br>Joyce King, an African-American who writes for USA Today said,  We are not  niggers. It is not, in fact, OK for anyone - black or white - to use that filthy word or to ignore its meaning. This was in response to a question often asked by whites why it is OK for black people to call each other  nigger as an affectionate term or use the term behind closed doors. <br> Nigger is a gut-wrenching word, explains King,  with the power to haunt some and cripple others. It can t be disdainful and incorrect only when people who ought to know better use it. It can t be ugly when racists spew their rhetoric, but beautiful when someone we admire claims it. <br>King gives her definition: divisive, vulgar, unnecessary, hurtful. It is not affectionate. Not funny. <br>When King went to schoolĞ:ˮnI;w5N P5Jm[~6:+C ᘩiv+\>_"s{L%_d.#ޭ{ T6Tw<[^T?pc *>iJt6(ի,r]2#T0@D !7 Q-ڽU(9= Pwo=~M\ /kk 'd;xqqfZ>^]9* $ke`zv: _!q9y.2Ò]EzՍ02D8$4^ LxXԐtdKg[s~9^:˒v5(ܾԬSQQ33*'{c.\\`/Hs/[^#\5snWgղݦ=;(8t뱬LP_zEc_nOǒy$:WZPOXT[}Oݵ]:RHQ\F:~Z ?z 8Gۗ?W!B?|F$ctEZנ3Ç3 G\Gb[z4P$}/,vHt~o{@Η/ u6T2 7KbkE` m eDqL4NPiF2I&S#& Ό2ݎH,Oi7NE-v9E}>0#dgABݕTK>Mz=́FSIb$l$7䬤.b-I]B6 vUZ3 {ǍqvۯgÑǶ.} }?nP%X:cŎuoo)3Wo3cm }8`,h$K;USaHgx]A=;<ܩ+ *E\%nHJvЄԁeV8{A b[ELDž19Hg5V7Lz*sgH(6_MJd-슞lĕ j6),c[W#Q߰$DفPH$d8-K_SR2[~@ E@A2@1BĒ{=hgB'"{/!z%k3]Jh'b4ltf"J4 &%\j`/b:2yV(i%ُNQntԦ$oq17ݵuYnl IFveL2a Lvު69CVU0U6&L}D*hܢiW]l؋ |<[^^n?F ^!ʶA<YG(#kU'vx٤"PW+Y~LBD|>:C<$(Ornu[WVD~*a6]V% KGS6?XN"1>FR">ѢD|jXbށzR8bE@Oŭ`Gh +<8J[~!\iQoHI}U)Cēdĺޑ=1EoopMNj5-屒'q} I7 d90YOUZgM򧝱|ϋ+^nK୻jPX'UudJF7YBmOΓe*c&oL,UΉo&9%^fmeI+s;NdF+ E&UM3(9[fT =r{VdXwH\cN#f{ݫ:?~iD2z382JAҠKą7~U,h1U6SqRCpdoB|7Q!TK.BQ;}ZFYX(>͉vq€4~WnX$O.#x$ZlSˁ ٝr Tirgi:Ӣ( !bTc*5Rc!=Q1=[P'A1ԑ݁)ߩX{{T~(ĐqtR^N nw6S+h< םUfF 2 )"5 EL恩O.0jxDz>4JHRШq"$ͩ ""je^İaF ̙oZS4Q f=ۊbό&K")3sn2pSSFK|#c3G+jj~'-/1M7r3eL96$5|*%T @i1}`kEHb637&@ h-}AA3vi1v?W|ɘZ-%6OZd-` L]1_wA.k%Xvpoh lW|1mX3:z5  ?L6ǚсv?pǛOzGI )_7 V{Fᖆ3_<ֿ" ^d F_ 7WoK-|0<ɝoV<e)>\_̙ FC0oL]ǖ`$_oIodWyz>Kр]Qa̙`գ8l ) ֖ ݼÙg1iBL7,:a#V5Sf5a/#1EJ~a26o"tI -96i8#;'›< ?!` LWIրL_V/']#C2dJ(RdZ;'/#V?٨CIk< ߭\ n]xu_%,,RaiiϔP|^cxV:۶GDҤyyFHܕ׭dH\L;Nfh}a"#e~L6lhaGWۺ(b`v6LN-_. h<4b0ŻAqCcGYڠ=xQN\1J˗"ޚQ@q1u톏K}jwGeǠ Tțbl7` 9K; O?jI^i edSۢx<<3k^Jq-6zF':5I3`˄5Łk}*b?2qi%A'u%$Z>_/V@ҿjye*\u<%+o r$Ǟ$\&QebڒzI7ČxX[sU+[HܦFCan@=W ȉlH;X5OFY.a`cʆC ޷{/p -Nj< u1״îYj'}um xbd,{ZIJ6e#?Υpc~kC!CG W`x](F3ʪ#f-48dVZƼ R%呗'Rwd)yKر7SߪiLi^ ދPC*w7棖ʈ\ 2lI{zՊ$C"B bOI㷻P{Z&;дXZY88lXn 2sҠSӋca6Q.,d_zcSZ)rec{4jB/]&w5 㲒wk8VFEN.],^6&,o5P|Q,rlz>I\*
