Abstract

This paper examines the historical trajectory of my maternal grandfather’s family as they migrated from Bridgetown, Barbados, to Colón, Panama, ultimately attaining American citizenship and establishing residence in Brooklyn, New York. Presented as a microhistory, it employs historical documentation to construct a narrative that reflects a forgotten family history and cultural affiliation.
