For 10 years in southern India, John Jesubakthan worked for an organization that rescued victims, including children, from slavery, something that still affects around 18 million people in that country.
A year and a half ago, he married Rachel, a U.S. citizen and the couple moved to Orlando.
“One of my passions has been to do something with food and I love cooking south Indian food,” Jesubakthan said. “I always wanted to connect my food business with anti-human trafficking and in the long run I want my business to support kids rescued from slavery…particularly with education.”
Setting up a business is always a challenge, and Jesubakthan is trying to get John’s South Indian Kitchen up and running in a pandemic.
Kenneth Nunn held a photo of his wife, Patricia Hilliard-Nunn, to the webcam as he spoke at the end of an impassioned memorial service celebrating her life and legacy Wednesday evening.
She looks vibrant in the image, wearing a multicolored dress and headdress at the Matheson History Museum in Gainesville, speaking about the history of enslavement in Alachua County.
It’s from 2016. Why the surgical mask over much of her face? It was three days after Hilliard-Nunn, a senior lecturer in the University of Florida’s African American Studies program, underwent a bone-marrow transplant, her husband said. He urged her to not go to the museum. She ignored his plea, Nunn told the 300 people attending the two-hour virtual ceremony.
