NAACP Lee County Branch — My True Roots to the American Revolution
NAACP Lee County Branch — My True Roots to the American Revolution
NAACP Barbour County Freedom Fund Banquet - Beyond the Ballot: Saving Democracy through Advocacy
During Black History Month, the NAACP Lee County invites the community to a powerful, multi-generational learning experience centered on the importance of family history and ancestral research.
My True Roots to the American Revolution, led by family historian and U.S. Army veteran True Lewis, will explore how oral traditions, family stories, and historical records can be used to uncover deep ancestral connections. Drawing from her own journey—beginning with family stories passed down in Bullock County, Alabama—Ms. Lewis will share her methodology for tracing lineage, including her discovery of a fifth great-grandfather who was a patriot of the American Revolution.
This event is designed for individuals and families who:
- Are interested in starting their own family history research
- Want to validate and expand on oral traditions
- Have begun (or want to begin) recording stories, names, dates, and locations from elders
If you have not yet started this process, this program highlights why doing so is a crucial first step.
Family history is more than genealogy—it is foundational to identity, resilience, and belonging. Understanding where we come from strengthens self-esteem, connects us to culture and community, supports mental and emotional well-being, and can even inform future health decisions through awareness of shared histories and genetic patterns.
This is truly a family affair. Bring children, parents, grandparents, and extended family members to learn together and begin—or continue—the journey of preserving your family’s legacy.
