Thanks to All for an Incredible 20th Anniversary Celebration!
I am absolutely thrilled that we had such a wonderful time together on Saturday, March 18th at the Burlington Marriott in celebration of the 20thAnniversary of the New England Chapter of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, Inc.
Thanks to our speakers, sponsors, donors, advertisers, exhibitors, re-enactors, attendees, the Anniversary Committee and hotel staff for such a great day! It couldn’t have been any better than…
- Bob Bellinger’s djembe drums calling us to order.
- Stacie Clayton leading us in song.
- Christopher Child’s engaging presentation on DNA.
- Beverly Morgan-Welch’s overview and highlights of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
- Interacting with Shirley Carter, the re-enactor of Liza Rich, a laundress from Worcester, and with Charles Price, the Lexington Minuteman re-enactor of Prince Estabrook.
- Sharing a delicious buffet with family, friends, fellow genealogists and historians.
- Visiting exhibitors who shared cultural wares, books, and historical /genealogical information.
- Remembering those who have joined the ancestral chapter.
- Honoring AAHGS-NE FOUNDERS and SUSTAINERS.
