Tracing Your Roots
Clayborn Benson, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Historical Society will lead an impactful discussion on the importance of genealogy and understanding where we come from.
The event will be held in MATC’s Create Gallery and Camus Cafe. The current gallery exhibit, “Building Legacies,” highlights the work of Dr. James Cameron, founder of America’s Black Holocaust Museum and Mr. Benson, who has been labeled as one of Wisconsin’s most knowledgeable African American historians. Opportunities to start your own genealogical trace will be available through volunteers of the Black Historical Society. MATC Retiree Cheryl Randall will also join the discussion

Racial slurs, personal attacks, obscenity, profanity, and SHOUTING do not meet the above standard. Such comments are posted in the exhibit Hateful Speech.
