Additional information
Researching African American families prior to the 1870 Census is a challenge that may be overcome by finding linked descendants – or the white families who enslaved most of the Black population.
Learn new research techniques and use genealogy as a tool for confronting slavery and heal.
Registration is required. A Zoom link will be sent to registrants 1 hour before the program starts.
