An Exhibition and Video Documentary Become a part of an important chapter in the great story of Detroit, as you take a living history tour, tracing the roots of a people whose untold stories enriched the politics, industry, commerce and culture of the city's unheralded past, leaving a triumphant legacy for the future. In celebration of its African American citizens, the richly woven exhibition and companion video documentary, Family History chronicles the Fred Hart Williams Genealogical Society as the first and only African American ancestral society in the state of Michigan. As genealogy is brought to life, witness the stories of four Detroit families as told through the eyes of living descendants, exploring their ancestral legacies, and searches through the past. Interviews with Society members, noted historians and scholars weave together the connections to a place, a time, the events, traditions, accomplishments and contributions behind these powerful and moving narratives.
