Edwards speaks at meeting

The Journal-Sun’s own Raydeen Edwards gave a very informative speech to the Cass County Genealogical Society last week. His program was titled “Forty Acres and a Mule”. Forty Acres and a Mule refers to a failed promise of land redistribution to formerly enslaved people after the Civil War. The land promised was given back to the landowners by a reversal from President Andrew Johnson. Photo by Tim Emmons
