Have you ever wished that you could explore your family tree, but had no idea
how to begin such task? That was the dilemma faced by James O. Hill, Sr.,
when he returned home from his grandmother’s memorial service the Summer
of 1987. Family members had made a commitment to become better acquainted,
even though they lived so far apart in place and in time. As a tribute to his
grandmother’s memory, Mr. Hill began to chronicle The Chambers Family
Treasure.
Through extensive research James Hill discovered that his family’s ancestral
lineage was actually traceable through eight generations and that he is a fifth-
generation member of this very large and extraordinary Black Texas family.
Emancipation of Eight Generations provides a detailed account of how family
members survived as indentured servants and slaves and now as emancipated
Blacks living today’s nonsegregated society fifty-one years after declaration of
1954 U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, which ended segregation in the United
States of America.
Hill spent years on this project in order to make it as complete, accurate, and as
up-to-date as possible. It was a long journey, but in the end, it was a very
gratifying journey. Mr. Hill is a shining example of the positive influence
these eight generations of family have had on him.
Abundant use throughout descriptive names, photographs, times and places
make Emancipation of Eight Generations appealing to individuals who want to
create their own family tree. Educators will find this intriguing historical
account a valuable resource for children. It is easy to read and suitable as an
instructional supplement to classes on family history and culture. All readers
will be fascinated to learn how a simple tree can be used as the basis for
chronicling a wealth of family history and culture.
