God is Shouting’: Two Men Meet in a Divine Moment, Then Discover a Shared Past that Will Blow You Away
Will Ford is the descendant of slaves. He travels the country sharing a message of racial healing. That’s how he met Matthew Lockett…
“I show up at the Lincoln Memorial because of this dream. I don’t know why I’m there. But that was the first place that Will and I came together,” Lockett recalled.
Lockett says there was something about their meeting that first night, and he couldn’t let it go.
“He shared a part of the story that shocked me,” said Lockett.
Years of research led to a stunning discovery.
“My oldest known family member was a man named Isaac Lockett. All those Locketts on that list were from Virginia. The only Locketts in Virginia at that time was Matt’s family,” said Ford.
That revelation led to some difficult soul searching.
“Matt’s family owned my family and I had to wrestle with that. We had stories passed down in our family of slaves being beat to death for simply going fishing without asking. I really had to reconcile some things. I really had to forgive Matt’s family for owning my family,” said Ford.
