Freedom Stories Genealogy Forum: Unapologetic Lineage
In this second Forum in the Freedom Stories Initiative forum series, genealogists and enthusiasts alike will explore what it means to belong through genealogy, as it relates to the self and how it impacts one’s life. The conversation will explore topics like why others may consider doing research on their family tree, the importance for future generations and knowing where you are and who you are around.
On this panel:
Barbara Dunn of the Association of the Study of African American Life and History
Michelle Lee of Gateway Arts Media Lab
Melisande Short-Colombe, a direct descendant of Mary “The Poppaw Queen“ Queen’s family
Nathania A. Branch Miles, life member of the Afro-American History and Genealogical Society.
Joe’s is part of the Freedom Stories Initiative with programs produced in partnership between Prince George’s Community College Center for Performing Arts, Prince George’s County Memorial Library System, Prince George’s County Office of Human Rights.
Freedom Stories discovers the histories, stories, names, and places where freedom from enslavement and oppression began in Prince George’s County. Through dialogue facilitated by programs, Freedom Stories strives to connect legacy to present day Prince George’s families and provide insight into the determination and resilience of Blacks living in Prince George’s County in the 1700’s. We explore history to create a more just and equitable present experience for our community and beyond.
