From that day on, Hill decided that his family's life stories would be told. He embarked on a journey which spanned over an 18-year period, taking him across the country; requiring thousands of man hours conducting phone interviews, visiting family members in their homes, and painstakingly extensive research in order to authenticate the Hill's family lineage.
