Genealogist, author, and historian John Mills presents a fascinating exploration of the hidden stories of enslaved Americans and the ongoing effort to reconnect families with their past.
A trained genealogist and independent scholar, Mills is the president of the Alex Breanne Corporation, a Connecticut-based nonprofit dedicated to uncovering lesser-known histories of the enslaved and restoring their stories to the communities where they lived, worked, and died. Through meticulous research and a passion for historical justice, his work helps present-day descendants rediscover their roots and preserves the legacy of their ancestors.
A published author and respected advocate, Mills has shared his expertise on The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Areva Martin Show, and his work has been featured in The Washington Post and Scholastic Magazine. He also serves as a member of the Connecticut Freedom Trail Committee.
Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation as John Mills reveals how genealogy can illuminate forgotten histories, strengthen community connections, and bring long-silenced voices back into the American story.
