Black Family History(1900-1950) SIG
Led by Charles E. Wilson
This group focuses on Black family history during the pivotal decades from 1900 to 1950. Join us as we encourage and collaborate with each other to explore and document the rich family histories generated during this era. Session updates are provided below the BFH SIG header.
Much of the discussion centers around the following programs presented at the Black Family History event we co-hosted with the Leesburg Public Library in September. The recordings and handouts are available in the Members Area of our website through Feb 2024. (Non-members are still welcome to attend and participate!)
- Researching Black Family History, 1900-1950: Essential Foundations (Taneya Koonce)
- Colleges, Clubs, & Cotton Fields: Researching Black Women, 1900-1950 (Adrienne Whaley)
- Context Matters: Researching Black World War Two Ancestors (KB Barcomb)
