Hester Scoggins was born an enslaved woman in the Dirt Town Valley of Gore, Georgia. Throughout her enslavement she served as a wet-nurse during the time of chattel slavery in the state of Georgia. Her name was erased from historical documents until after emancipation where she was listed as a domestic servant until her passing at 42 years old.
Almost 150 years after her passing, the descendants of Hester and her enslavers lived as neighbors and friends. They prayed, worshiped, and shared meals together, not knowing their shared history until 2021. In light of this discovery, descendants of both families joined together to create Hester’s Heritage Foundation with the intent of supporting equal justice in black history preservation, education, and black farming initiatives.
