Writing Your Family History Workshop

Join Rochelle Thompson to learn how she wrote a book of her family's history, highlighting the importance of Cincinnati's local heritage.
About this Event

The Chancellor Heritage chronicles the history of the Chancellor family, who once lived in Cincinnati's predominately Black West End neighborhood before urban renewal displaced over 25,000 Black families.

Authored with the intention of preserving family legacy, the book captures stories from Mildred Springs-Chancellor and serves as both an heirloom for her many descendants and a template for others seeking to document their family histories.

Author Rochelle Thompson will share the creation process and family stories, highlighting the importance of celebrating Cincinnati's local heritage.
