[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I changed mine. The names my parents gave me (first, middle) are my names. My last name was something some slaveowner gave us and I didn't care or have any particular attachment to it. I don't care what other people do. [/quote] You might want to fact check that. Scholars are finding that most freedman and women selected last names that had nothing to do with their former enslaver. There are exceptions. My last name is the name of my father’s family’s enslaver, but my mother’s maiden name is not. It’s a place name that her newly freed ancestors chose. [/quote]
