Finding Miles Lassiter: My Journey to Home

Howard County Central Branch Library (Columbia, MD)

Although antebellum African Americans were sometimes allowed to attend Quaker services, they were almost never admitted to full "meeting" membership, as was Miles Lassiter, illuminating the unfolding of the 19th-century color line into the 20th. Margo Williams developed an interest in genealogy early in life and has researched and written extensively on her family. She identifies heirs for intestate probates through her private research company, Personal Prologues, and was an editor of the Journal of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society. The presentation begins at 7:00 pm. Please register for this event at hclibrary.org/events.
