SUMMARY:Black Family History Symposium: Refounding Legacies
DESCRIPTION:Returning for 2026\, Getting Word’s Black Family History Symposium will explore how Black families continue to reshape and refine America’s origin story. Held on Saturday\, February 7\, 2026\, at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center\, this year’s symposium centers on the theme “REFOUNDING LEGACIES.” \nAs the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding\, conversations about American history are intensifying. This milestone invites us to confront the gap between the nation’s written history and lived reality\, especially for African American families whose stories have long been pushed to the margins. Black families have always offered their own edits\, additions\, and corrections to the American Story\, preserving accounts of kinship resilience\, creativity\, and generational memory that challenge and enrich our national understanding. \nThis free event includes a catered lunch. Whether you are beginning your family history journey or continuing a long tradition of research and storytelling\, this symposium offers space to learn\, share\, and build community. \nCheck out the Black Family History Symposium schedule below and register here.
