Book excerpt: Her parents successfully hid their own black ancestry all their adult lives, even from their five children. A TRUE STORY, as a teenager Dolores, born in NYC but raised in CA, discovered her black heritage and made a dramatic moral choice. She left home at age 17 to live an open black life and to search for her hidden black roots. Read the inspiring story about Dolores' healing research journey that led her to discover, not only did BOTH her parents have a black parent, her maternal great-grandfather was a hidden black abolitionist. A dramatic Prologue and powerful essay included in this book, the essay helped inspire the Paterson, NJ people to successfully demand the official Huntoon-Van Rensalier Underground Railroad Site at the vacant lot. Still determined to honor William, and his life-long friend, abolitionist Josiah Huntoon, she helped turn this historic vacant lot into a spectacular Huntoon-Van Rensalier UGRR Monument.
