In conjunction with Remnants of Hatred: Slavery Artifacts of Today Exhibition, we present another Genealogy Program, entitled “There is Something About Edgefield Shining a Light on the Black Community through History Genealogy & Genetic DNA” by Edna Gail Bush and Natonne Elaine Kemp

Through their ancestors stories, family historians Bush and Kemp take us on a compelling journey through African American history using genealogical research. The community is Edgefield, South Carolina, where an enslaved maternal line is traced to 1799. Follow the authors through years of meticulous genealogical research and DNA testing as they reclaim their family stories and inspire others to embark on their own family journeys.

A book signing will follow with Natonne Elaine Kemp. Learn more about the book here.
