USBH Sticker?

I did run this profile past some in the USBH project (by email) but the profile only had a link to the "Narrative of Slave Life" and I don't think it was fully researched, as it was not accepted into the project.  That "narrative" (which was in the newspaper, is now on the profile in full.

I am pretty sure that my research has uncovered that this man Bill or William Ford,  WAS who he said that he was, and has a place in United States Black History.  An exciting find!  I have not found his ship yet but everything else seems to match up.  Just running this past the USBH again. He was from Charles County, Maryland.

I was on my phone when I answered your post, and I want to add that as a rule, anyone with Black Heritage that was born here, lived here for any length of time, or died here in the US would receive the sticker. The sticker allows us to honor, as well as, track the number of profiles being created. Thank you for bringing William Ford to our attention. His story is one of so many whose life is worth remembering.
