My American story begins with my great-great-grandfather, Sals Burgess, who arrived in America as a child shackled in the belly of a slave ship. Sals was sold on an auction block with his mother in Charleston, South Carolina, to the Burgess plantation. He escaped through the Underground Railroad and later became a successful entrepreneur, purchasing 102 acres of farmland paid off in two years.

As I stood on the floor of the U.S. House chamber for the first time on January 3rd, I found myself reflecting on the profound differences that a few generations can make.
My great-great-grandfather, Silas Burgess, was brought to America as a child in the belly of a slave ship. He died a successful and respected entrepreneur.
My grandfather, Oscar Kirby, served our country in World War I. He had 12 children, all of whom graduated from college and entered the explosive 1950s and ‘60s Black middle class. He died a successful and respected farmer.
