SEE YOU THROUGH US
The founders believe by being mission focused, not only will we honor, repair, and empower the DSLUE community, we also hope to provide other descendants of the enslaved in America, those who have yet to recover the names and locations of their Ancestors, a window into their past through what is revealed about ours. As you learn, along with us, about our Jesuit enslaved Ancestors, we hope you’ll be inspired to take that sacred journey back to reclaim what was lost. We believe – With each discovery comes a new opportunity.
