Cousins Keaira (age 17) and Brandon (age 11) can trace their family back to the 1600s. In 1870, shortly after slavery was ended, their great-great-great-great-great-uncle, James Still, met up with his brothers and sisters, all former slaves who had been scattered by sale or escape. They vowed to meet every year...
And they have.
In fact, the Still family reunion is one of the oldest in the U.S.
