*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 02/22/2025
Join us for the Black History Month Genealogy Show-and-Tell: What’s Your Family’s Occupation at the Orange Mound Library and Genealogy Center! The Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS) of Memphis and Midsouth invites you to bring your family artifacts from the many different jobs family members have filled in the past. A cook’s butter churn, a doctor’s glasses, a farmer’s spade…come share your family’s story through the tools they used daily. The theme for this Black History month is Black History and labor so let’s get to work discovering our past! AAHGS members will be available after the event to provide hands-on research assistance too!
