SUMMARYFBA: the name the people took back (Nov 12, 2026; Tito: "now we claim FBA while still claiming American Indian")
RECORDTariq Nasheed coined "Foundational Black American" (FBA) in January 2019, for descendants of people held in bondage in the United States, with at least one parent from a non-immigrant American line (Wikipedia, "Tariq Nasheed")
RECORDADOS, American Descendants of Slavery, was founded by Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore, who created the #ADOS hashtag; its first national conference was in Louisville, Kentucky, in October 2019; Wikipedia calls it "tiny but outspoken" (Wikipedia, "American Descendants of Slavery")
PATTERNboth names define the people by bondage on this soil, which ties identity to "brought over on boats," the colonizer lens on our origin (see P805)
LENS (WW9, Tito)the Black American Indian reclaiming movement was growing fast; the FBA label was pushed to pull that identity toward the boat story. Then the people took the name over: we claim FBA, the foundation of this land, while still claiming American Indian. The foundation was always here
OPENTito's lead that the FBA term came from Masonic circles. No record we have found ties Nasheed to a lodge; because it is a claim about a living person, it stays Open until a document says it. Needs deep research.
