Introducing the 10 Million Names Project
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 descents 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.

How Can Connecting with Ancestors Complete Us?
"Connecting with ancestors completes us" is a phrase I've coined after witnessing the transformative power of knowing one's family history in the lives of three African American men. In this TED-talk style presentation, attendees will be treated to the stories of Lonnie Bunch, LeVar Burton, and Thom Reed, all of whom discovered incredible resources that allowed them to connect with their ancestors in a way that completed them. These examples are informative, inspiring, and can be emotional, so have some tissues handy!
