45th National Conference - Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society
2024-10-10 08:00 - 2024-10-12 17:00
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history.By prioritizing the study and dissemination of African American genealogical records, personal narratives, and historical documents, this theme advocates for an inclusive historical record that honors the truth and ensures that the legacies of African American ancestors remain visible and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.

Banned Books Week

“Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in libraries, bookstores, and schools. By focusing on efforts to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship. Typically (but not always) held during the last week of September, the annual event highlights the value of free and open access to information and brings together the entire book community — librarians, educators, authors, publishers, booksellers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas.” source: https://www.ala.org/events/banned-books-week
