Uncover the extraordinary journey of the Slade family, a lineage that may trace its roots back to the legendary Queen of Sheba. The Slade Legacy: A Journey Through Time is a deeply personal and poetic memoir, preserving the oral history passed down by Minnie Beatrice Slade/Alston-a mother determined to keep her family's story alive for future generations.

From the ancient lands of Ethiopia to the Caribbean shores of the British Virgin Islands, and finally to Virginia and North Carolina, the Slades carried with them a legacy of resilience, love, and faith. As the family adapted to new lands and cultures, their unwavering spirit and devotion to Christianity remained at the heart of their identity.

Told in poetic form, this book explores themes of ancestry, migration, and heritage, offering a powerful testament to the importance of preserving family history. Did the Slades descend from Ethiopian royalty? What traditions, languages, and values were passed down through the generations?

Perfect for readers of genealogy, African diaspora history, and poetic memoirs, The Slade Legacy is more than a family story-it is a tribute to the enduring power of legacy and the voices that carry it forward.
