    When I was five years old, I was terrified of being left alone. I was afraid to ever be by myself. I had to be around other people or I would have panic attacks. Our dogs somehow had gotten out of our backyard. My mom, my sister and I got in the car and drove around the neighborhood looking for the dogs. My mother drove by our house to check if they had got back yet. My mom told me to see if the front door was unlocked. As I was walking across the front lawn, she drove away. When I was walking towards the house I didn’t hear my mom tell me that she was going around the block and that she’d be right back. To say the least, I panicked. I remember running down the dusty dirt road after her brown jeep thinking that my mom left me and would never see her again. Feelings of fear and abandonment filled my body, and I ran down to the highway screaming with tears streaming down my face. When I finally got to the highway I sat down and started to sob.

    On December 6th, 1865 the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified and slavery had officially ended. Even though slavery was now illegal and the slaves were free, most of them had nowhere to go, and this was the case for my family. Instead of moving away to explore their new “freedom”, they had no other choice but to remain working on the plantations in exchange for food and a place to live. For generations my ancestors worked in Fort Worth, Texas on the plantations. In 1917 my great grandmother, Clara Lewis was born. She worked on the plantation until the age of 5, when her family had finally saved enough money to buy their own piece of land in Erath, Texas. Clara Lewis married my great grandfather, William Bentley and had given birth to three children by the age of 23. They moved onto their own plot of land in a less fortunate part of town.
