Juneteeth 2023 African Ancestry Experience

The Trent House in partnership with Dr. Carter G. Woodson chapter of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History presents a Juneteenth program on African Ancestry. Connecting with our own family heritage gives life to history. For many African Americans finding those connections is often challenging and may seem impossible. DNA analysis is opening new avenues to learn about those connections for people of all backgrounds, and DNA data collected across the continent of Africa can reveal family links to tribal groups, kingdoms, and nations.
