Not really news or a surprise….
For the earlier part of Mann Page Ciesemier’s life, race had never been much of an issue. He was raised in the predominately white suburb of Wheaton, Il., where all but one of his friends was white. He’d always known that his mother’s family had roots in Virginia, and when he was in his early teens, he said he got up the nerve to ask his mother: “Did our family own slaves?” She answered sternly: “Yes, but we were kind!” That was the end of the matter until decades later when he met an old medicine man who would start him on a journey that would help him discover his African-American relatives. This is Mann Page Ciesemier’s essay:
Fifteen years ago, I put together a management retreat that took my coworkers and me from Chicago to Phoenix for charity work. Initially, our plan was to work in an impoverished black community. But not many blacks in Phoenix needed our help so we turned our attention to a group of Native Americans.
