African
Americans have long decried the incompleteness of an American
history, which consistently denies, ignores and distorts the
contributions their ancestors made to the advancement of this
country.
Members of the
Fred Hart Williams Genealogical Society (FHWGS), a Detroit-based
organization founded in 1979, have attempted to fill in the
historical gaps on a local level. The organization has
researched, compiled and published the following books:
Our
Untold Stories: A Collection of Family History Narratives
Public
Sites Named for Blacks
102nd
U.S. Colored Troops Buried at Elmwood Cemetery
Fred
Hart Williams Genealogical Society Newsletters 1980-1999
FHWGS 20th
Anniversary Celebration Souvenir Book
FHWGS 25th
Anniversary Celebration Souvenir Book
FHWGS 30th Anniversary Celebration Souvenir Book
In keeping
with Society’s mission of preserving African American history,
life and culture, these publications serve as valuable
references for genealogists, students, educators, families and
researchers around the globe. Currently out of print, copies are
available in the Burton Historical Collection at the Detroit
Public Library’s Main Branch located at 5201 Woodward Avenue,
Detroit, Michigan.
