African American History and Genealogy Seminar

This has been an interesting summer. During August I did a seminar in Kansas City, Kansas discussing the history of Africans and African Americans, as well as the history of African American families. The history of Africans goes back 100,00 to 200,00 years, which makes this history the oldest of all human beings. There are Africans mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The history of African in North America extends back at least 3,000 to 4,000 years. The history of enslaved Africans extends to the mid 1500s.

When there is discussion of African Americans, the history is extensive, very interesting, and saddening, but we African Americans have survived and can do very well now and in the future. Most of the African Americans during the years of enslavement had life so much more difficult than we have now and are our past ancestors that we should learn about.
