Thank you on behalf of the Notables Diversity Team.
We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.
Thanks!

"Her biracial son was born around 1860," Swarns said. "And the question has been who was his father? And that's kind of what I was able to uncover. ... I found that his owner's family is related to Michelle Obama. And the most likely father was Melvinia's owner's son, Charles Marion Shields."
