Fighting Erasure: Staying Visible by Keeping
African American Genealogy and History in Focus

The conference theme, "Fighting Erasure: Staying Visible by Keeping African American Genealogy and History in Focus," underscores the crucial role of preserving and spotlighting African American history and genealogy in the broader narrative of American history.

African American histories, often marginalized or omitted in mainstream historical discourse, hold invaluable insights into the resilience, culture, and contributions of Black communities throughout American history.

By prioritizing the study and dissemination of African American genealogical records, personal narratives, and historical documents, this theme advocates for an inclusive historical record that honors the truth and ensures that the legacies of African American ancestors remain visible and influential for future generations.

This approach not only corrects historical oversights but also empowers current and future generations by connecting them with their rich heritage and the enduring strength of their forebearers.
