A little bit about us...
Formed in 2011, the African-American Genealogy Group of Kentucky is the first of its kind in the Commonwealth to focus on aspects of genealogical research unique to the African American community. "The Group" meets monthly on Third Saturdays and at other times when we have the opportunity to share. Our mission is to fill the void created where the history of Black Kentuckians have been omitted or inadequately researched and recorded. Our members hail from coast to coast, north to south, with connecting ties to the Commonwealth. |
"I too am of the hills, my folks have corn rowed tobacco, laid track, strip mined, worshipped and whiskied from Harlan to Maysville, old Dunbar to Central...We put the heat in the hot brown and gave it color.
Indeed some of the bluegrass is black."
- from Kentucke by Frank X Walker
