Lecture Evaluation
This lecture I believe was inspirational to many who have fallen prey to discouragement while researching our African American ancestors. Ms. Minis showed that if you know where to go to do your research, and how to persevere, what you've been looking for will show up. Circumstances aside, there is often light at the end of the the tunnel and it is not an oncoming train!
