Verified Freedmen Population Officially Recognized Under the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust

The Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust has officially declared the lawful existence of a Verified Freedmen Population—a status-based community governed under trust law and protected from erasure, misrepresentation, or unauthorized claims of inclusion.

Each individual in this Verified Freedmen Population has undergone historical documentation review using primary records such as post-emancipation census rolls, slave schedules, and other qualifying genealogical evidence. These records uphold the legal and ancestral standards set by the Trust.

This is not a symbolic gesture—it is a foundational shift in how reparations, legal protections, and self-governance are administered. The Trust now governs a living, documented population harmed by American chattel slavery. Any individual or entity issuing reparations without recognition of or coordination with this Trust may be violating the rights of this protected group.

Key Points:

• The population is real, verified, and governed under private trust law.

• Both adult and minor Freedmen beneficiaries are included.

• Verification is grounded in historical evidence, not speculative or assumed identity.

• The Trust is the sole authority for lawful verification of Freedmen status.

• Misuse of the term “reparations” without Trust coordination may trigger enforcement action.

This declaration solidifies the Trust’s jurisdiction as a legal steward for reparative justice, economic protection, and cultural legacy. It is a call to all institutions to acknowledge, respect, and engage with the true population of Verified Freedmen as defined—not co-opted.
