| Sandra Arvelo Kingsley, Kingsley descendant and "world's best mom" speaks at the Kingsley Heritage Celebration. |
Sandra Arvelo Kingsley, a great-great-great-granddaughter of Anna and Zephaniah Kingsley, and her brother Wences flew from the Dominican Republic to attend the 2008 Kingsley Heritage Celebration. Sandra introduced the main event, a guided letter reading titled "Zephaniah Kingsley: World Traveller" and prepared by historian and Kingsley specialist Dr. Daniel L. Schafer, Professor Emeritus at the University of North Florida.
The event was covered by the Florida Times Union, as seen on the screenshot of the website, above. The article was titled "Descendants of Slaveholder Join to Note History: Zephaniah and Anna Kingsley Are Recalled at a Family Reunion."
