At the invite of a founding board member Kathleen Bethel, I attended an intellectually stimulating event to formally announce the start of a Center in Chicago devoted to Black Genealogy. Within the space of an hour and a half I met other individuals interested in exploring their roots and others who had already begun. This group is being led by noted Genealogist, author, lecturer, and Professor Tony Burroughs. He has assembled other like- minded individuals to form a group interested in research of their respective family backgrounds. This is a very hands on experience that will ultimately create generational information that our young people can look at and know that there is a history to their being.
