Genealogy Round Table: Tracing African American Family Histories, Presentation & Resources

Today we gathered at the MARC for the second Genealogy Round Table. Led by Valencia Abbott, Social Studies teacher, historian, and presenter of the popular annual Food For Thought Program, this Round Table focused on resources for studying African American families.

Abbott focused on the importance of understanding the broader historical context of the world ancestors inhabited in order to aid in our search for information and to understand them more completely.
