The 2024–2025 Lemon Project Genealogical Research Roundtable draws from the 2024 Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society conference theme to persist in spotlighting African American history and genealogy in the broader narrative of American history. The Lemon Project Genealogy Initiative, led by Dr. Jajuan Johnson, offers four sessions for the spring 2025 semester. 

Join us on February 20th as we celebrate Black History Month with special guest Dr. Shelley V. Murphy, UVA Gibbons Project/ Descendant Project Researcher. Discover the power of preserving and sharing your family’s stories, whether of free or enslaved ancestors. This session highlights the importance of oral history, strategies for writing compelling narratives, and creative ways to share your work—through blogs, books, podcasts, and more. Gain practical tips to overcome challenges and leave with a plan to honor your ancestors and inspire future generations. Don’t miss this opportunity to bring your family’s legacy to life!
