Lambert Harvey Turner Govan Family Legacy
Up From Slavery



Congratulations to cousin Nakobe Dean and his Philadelphia Eagles on winning the Super Bowl! No doubt there’ll be some partying in Horn Lake, Mississippi! 🍾🎉
Hello Family. If you haven’t watched any episodes of the PBS Special Great Migrations: A People On The Move” narrated by Henry Louis Gates Jr., you need to check it out. Very interesting story of how and why many of our ancestors left the South from about 1910 to 1970 and are now returning.
Hello Family. I hope you all enjoy the holidays! Remember the REASON for the SEASON! As our cousin Jacqueline Turner Robinson reminds us in this soulful rendition…JESUS IS MISSING. Love to you all.
