Black history month is an opportunity to uncover important aspects of American history and your own heritage through resources available to you at your local public library. Explore your family history through pre-emancipation papers, census records, and other documents. Join author and researcher, Janis Minor Forte, in this online workshop on conducting research into African American genealogy and history. 

You must register to participate in this live, online event. You will receive a link to participate by email one day prior to the event. You can also attend a live broadcast of the zoom program in the Shackley Genealogy Room.
