Saturday, February 28
Born a Slave: Rediscovering Arthur Jackson’s African American Heritage, book signing and lecture with author David Jackson
2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
$5 per seat
Please join us for a book singing and lecture with author and local historian David Jackson as he explores his family’s history. Born a Slave: Rediscovering Arthur Jackson’s African-American Heritage explores this man’s birth, childhood, life as a freedman, his ancestry, and his master’s family.
A Black History Month presentation is set amid the context of a biography that local author, archivist, and historic preservationist, David W. Jackson’s wrote about one of his most surprising ancestors. This hopeful message speaks to anyone desiring to embark on a genealogical voyage, or set sails anew.
No matter if it happens in 1870 or 1770, everyone hits a brick wall in genealogical research on one line of their family or another. Everyone. Discover some good news that might inspire you to speak your ancestors’ names! A book signing to follow.
