What's Happening
A Father's Day brunch celebrating Black fathers, families, and community during the Juneteenth weekend.
The 2:00 PM program features Dr. Gina Paige, Co-Founder of African Ancestry, as special guest speaker. Dr. Paige's work helps Black people reconnect with African roots through DNA testing, family history, and cultural identity.
The program will also include an Ancestry Reveal featuring Local News 3's LaTrice Currie and other community members. Presented as part of Scratching Your Roots: Black Genealogy Society, an initiative dedicated to helping Black families explore, preserve, and celebrate ancestral identity.
This powerful program explores why identity matters, why knowing our ancestral roots matters, and why reconnecting Black families to their history is essential for the future of our children.
