The L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs announces a seminar to be held this Thursday, February 2, 2006 at 7:00pm in the VCU Student Commons: Whispers from the Dust: The Freedmen Records and African American Family History

After 140 years of languishing in the archives of the National Archives & Records Administration, the historically significant Freedmen records are finally becoming available for African American family history research. A special seminar will be offered to the community detailing developments about the Freedmen records and their application to African American Family.
