"Family History, Genealogy, and the Historical Profession" will explore projects at the intersection of African-American history and genealogy; the place of genealogy and present-day descendants within historical scholarship and public history; and the evolving relationship between the historical and genealogical professions. The conversation will also feature scholars engaged with 10 Million Names, a new project committed to gathering the names of the 10 million individuals enslaved on land that became the United States between the 1500s and 1865.
