Genealogists who descend from slaveholders are uniquely positioned to revolutionize genealogy for their African American colleagues. You undoubtedly feel sympathy for the genealogical challenges facing the descendants of the enslaved persons who once gave your ancestors wealth, comfort, and social status. But what if you start seeing their challenge as your own? Because it is!
Join us and welcome to the challenge, the opportunity, and the methodology as project co-founder Donna Cox Baker introduces participants to this fulfilling and enlightening journey.
