Episode notes

Hey y’all! Today you will be hearing from the Arnwine Family descendants. In 1776, a man named Albertis Arnwine was born. This man became a wealthy slaveowner in Tennessee and had multiple mixed raced children with an enslaved woman on his property, Gracie Arnwine. In his will, Albertis meant for his property to be left to Gracie, their children, and Gracie’s family. Unfortunately, that did not happen. The Arnwine descendants take us through the complicated and heartbreaking story of the history of their family’s property in Texas that was taken from their ancestors many years ago.
