Research & Revelations from the granddaughter of John Fields, formerly enslaved runaway with the spirit of entrepreneurship.

“His-story inspires people of all races and walks of life. My great-great grandfather, John Fields, was a formerly enslaved runaway with an open heart and spirit of entrepreneurship. He lived passionately working and serving his community until his last breath at 104 years old.”
— Kim Bettie

Blogumentary About My Great-Great Grandfather For Black History Month 2022
 
 
 

I decided to produce my first '“blogumentary” for Black History Month 2022. My blogumentary is a video project based on my blog, Research & Revelations. The purpose is aligned with my podcast, to inspire harmony within yourself and between others.

In this blogumentary, I contrast the accounts of his-story from two very different interviews I discovered were recorded at the same time in 1937: The Slave Narrative from the Federal Writers' Project and a Black historian who wrote an article for the Indianapolis Recorder.

Get ready for a journey of a lifetime as you join me on this virtual voyage, transformative time travel and empathetic excursion. I dedicate this labor of love to my ancestors. I can hear them singing, "This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine," as I share my research and revelations about his-story.
