WOW! I stumbled upon this on Activity Connection and read the whole thing here at work. I couldn’t stop! Thank You Thank You Thank You! As an African American also with diverse backgrounds and passing relatives both past and present I can relate. Only we (mixed folk) know the struggles of looking one way and only being accepted if you deny a part of you. My mother and grandmother were not seen as such due to different skin tones yet they do look alike. Such a fascinating stumble from the researchers on. I love that his descendants are indeed free and prospering. Intelligent and talented. Most of all that he was met with kindness in Iceland and by the Prince of Denmark.
