Premise: Keeping a promise
Little did I know that when I promised my dying abolitionist father at the tender age of 10 years old that I would continue his work, how far that would go. The foundation forty years later was using advances in genetics to help pay reparations to families that had lost so much. There were still those who tried to fight the lessons being taught. They were keen on everyone remaining blissfully ignorant of their disgusting treatment of people who didn’t look like them.
Harrison was running the opposition party. He was trying to forbid anyone from using genetics to find their family line. There had been many variables that the abolitionists had argued for why open and accessible testing needed to be available. Harrison’s retort to that was that everyone was born into their current stations’ multiple generations removed from what we were paying reparations for. This gloomy perspective is why the Coyote organization formed. We had been surprised at the masses that decided this was a cause to back. Maybe all the speeches I had given about not allowing history to repeat itself were finally making a difference. I could only hope that my father was proud of all the work I had done and the work I was continuing to do.
