I am the architect of The Stolen Bones Act of 1619 (formerly known as The Turner’s Inheritance Act...). A generational reparations initiative proposal that will return the theft of American artifacts made by “Enslaved Artist” between 1619-1865 to the rightful descendants. Case in Point: The Great SC Slave Potter, David Drake’s vessel recently sold at auction for an amazing 1.56 million...and his descendants received 0. I have established a conversation with The Drake and The Wilson Brothers’ descendants, and they are all in. This is not just a pottery movement, but can also apply to Painters Joshua Johnston, Robert Duncanson, and photographer, Augustus Washington descendants. I have also recommended HBCU’s accept stewardship to safeguard and exhibit these precious, treasured heirlooms. If you can provide any political support, please reach out to me.

To those dissenters who advocate the need to return African, Indigenous Natives, Far Eastern, etc artifacts...I say Absolutely! However, “you must pick your battles wisely”...Slavery in Colonial America is my battle.
