| Introduction | Chris Kite helps a wide range of people with family history research. He has given presentations around the country on Genealogy, American History, Legacy Planning, and particularly how our genes and memes, that is our DNA and spiritual roots, connect us all as cousins and as spiritual brothers and sisters. From 2016 to 2018, he served as the president of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS) in Charlotte. Chris is the descendant of Lutheran ministers in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, Baptist farmers east of Kansas City Missouri, Catholic farmers near Chicago, and Danish Mormon handcart pioneers. His brother Greg happens to be in the high school textbooks under Black History - as a Boston Celtic he is guarding Kareem Abdul Jabbar. You may notice that Greg is "a lighter shade of brown". Greg also played for the Charlotte Hornets in its first year, 1988-89, in the NBA. Chris and Greg view themselves as part of Martin Luther King's dream that the descendants of slave owners and the enslaved would come and work together as friends. |
