About this Event

Black Lives in the Hudson Valley

Black Lives in the Hudson Valley

Join the African American Historical Society of Rockland County for an evening exploring the lives, labor, and experiences of people of African descent in Rockland County during this period.

Through history and genealogy, this program considers how stories are preserved, how they are lost, and how we begin to reclaim them—tracing family histories and piecing together lives not fully recorded.
Don’t miss out on this meaningful gathering that brings people together to uplift and empower. See you there!

Additional Info
A brief Q&A will follow the presentations to address family search questions.
Host: AAHS of Rockland County

Info: Presented by the African American Historical Society of Rockland County, this program offers a moment to reflect on Juneteenth and America 250, two moments tied to the promise of freedom, though not equally realized, and the ongoing work of building the Black archive, grounded in Black memory work that recovers, preserves, and bears witness to Black lives and histories.
