True Lewis is a family historian and U.S. Army veteran whose research began with her family’s oral traditions in Bullock County, Alabama. Inspired by her 2nd great-grandfather, enslaved Granddaddy Ike, she has traced her ancestry to her 5th great-grandfather, a patriot of the American Revolution. A member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, True shares her story through her blog mytrueroots.com and as co-host of Black ProGen LIVE. Her oral history is archived at Harvard University’s Schlesinger Library
