Looking at Ben Watford, I believe he is related to Dr. Henry Gates. I definitely see some similarities with ancestors. The 🐦crow bird in the background is our Ancestors being "present" as this STORY is being told. This is interesting PROJECT & I thank GOD for HAVING you giving your time, patience & will POWER to continue what GOD has instructed you in doing for our Ancestors & for THOSE individuals that want to know our HISTORY. I am coming to "visit" soon. THANK YOU‼️❤️ 🙏🏽📚🏠

Thanks for the allowing us to have some memories of our ancestors. Who would think in our generation we would have a black president of the US and a black female Vice President.
