Recover, Restore, Remember: The 10 Million Names Project

There are at least 44 million descendants of enslaved individuals alive today, but slavery separated families, erased names, and obscured facts. The 10 Million Names Project, launched in 2023 by American Ancestors and its partners, aims to connect the family stories of these descendants to the 10 million men, women, and children of African descent who were enslaved in the U.S. prior to emancipation and to restore their names to history. Attendees of this talk will learn about the scope of the project, its objectives, research methodology, and ways to get involved—including searching databases, volunteering, and submitting family information to the project.
