PHILADELPHIA - eTradeWire -- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania— The African American Genealogy Group of Philadelphia, well-known for training genealogists and family historians, will observe its 35^th anniversary from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on November 2, 2024, at the Oaks Ballroom in Glenolden, Pennsylvania. "Branching Through Our Roots to Achieve Our Legacy" will feature a keynote by Christopher Rabb, prominent genealogist and family history researcher. The Alfie Pollitt Trio will provide live music. Individuals and organizations may purchase tickets online or by mail.

AAGG was co-founded in 1989 by Carolyn C. Williams, a N.J. native and its first president, the late John Logan and Stan Arnold, PhD. Williams, also the current president, is proud of the organization's accomplishments and evolution. It burnished its reputation by training hundreds of genealogists, under successive executive boards. AAGG was uniquely positioned to do more, after members navigated the complex history of enslaved and free Africans. It formed partnerships with historical and academic institutions in Philadelphia's metropolitan area, including Eden Cemetery and Cliveden of the National Trust. Project research efforts, often funded by grants, focus on using genealogy and microhistory to uncover legacies and to achieve restorative justice for Black individuals, families and communities.
