“HISTORY® Partners With FamilySearch on Freedmen’s Bureau Project”

This Church project represents a major investment in African-American family history:

And, as you’ve noticed in the article, it will be pushed in connection with a national television miniseries launching tonight on the History Channel:

I’m excited to see it — both the miniseries and the project.  I’m very pleased that Roots, which had an enormous impact when it was first published and then first turned into a miniseries, is now being done again.  May its influence surge yet further.
