On Sunday, March 26, Durand-Hedden asked genealogist Janice Gilyard to hold another workshop on African American genealogy in order to accommodate those who were unable to get a spot at the February workshop. Turnout and enthusiasm were both high at the event. We thank Ms. Gilyard for sharing her knowledge with us and for all the community members who turned out.
Join Janet Mandel on Tuesday, March 28, from 6pm to 7pm for a free virtual presentation on Asher B. Durand offered through the Piermont Library. Registration is available here through the Piermont Library. This presentation was previously given in SOMA at the Adult School.
