FREE NEHGS Webinar: 10 Million Names Project

Question

This webinar occurs on 8/24/23; however, I will be in New York City and want to make sure this gets posted. Here's some background:

There are at least 44 million descendants of enslaved individuals alive today, but slavery separated families, erased names, and obscured facts. The 10 Million Names project, recently launched by American Ancestors and its partners, aims to connect the family stories of these descendants to the 10 million men, women, and children of African descent who were enslaved in the U.S. prior to emancipation and to restore their names to history. Join Chief Historian Dr. Kendra Field and Vice President of Research and Library Services Lindsay Fulton as they share the scope of this project, the objectives, and our methodology.

Hi Beulah, Yes! I will edit now! Thank you for catching this.

Hi Carol, according to my calendar, the 24th is a Thursday, not Tuesday.

Hi Emma, I copied this right from the NEHGS website so in this instance, I cannot take responsibility for the day/date discrepancy. Right now, I am in Milwaukee with family and will be leaving for New York City tomorrow at 6am and won't return until Sunday.

I did, however, check the site and it is THURSDAY, AUGUST 24! I can also assure people that the full URL does work as that is how I checked the day and date and registration is right there as well.

Thank you, Emma, for your very young eagle eyes!
