Welcome President's Message

Greetings,

Welcome to the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, Inc. (AAHGS), the premier membership based organization dedicated to African-ancestored family history, research and genealogy. It is an honor and privilege to have been elected as the tenth national President. I thank you for your confidence. I will do my best to fulfill the expectations of the membership as we move forward to address our many challenges.

We owe a debt of appreciation to the Reverend Khadijah Matin, immediate Past President, for her leadership and vision. We wish her well as she continues her post-graduate studies.

Our challenges are many and my immediate goals are to ensure that we have a successful national conference, fill our critical vacancies, address concerns of chapters, and strengthen several partnerships that will provide additional member benefits.

We cannot rest on our past achievements. There is much to be done. We need not only your membership but also your input. Consider sharing your discoveries, being a volunteer, contributing to a preservation project, indexing records or contributing research articles. Be an active member, we would love to hear from you.

Charles Howard
