Adam Aurand spent nearly a decade of his life stuck in a loop. He cycled for years among emergency rooms, psychiatric hospitals, jails, prison, and the streets in and around Seattle. During that time, he picked up diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder. He also used opioids and methamphetamine. Each time he entered an institution for care or incarceration, he was released back into homelessness. And the cycle started again.

They farmed, created a system of government and turned former cotton plantations into a Black American success story. But it wouldn’t last.
