| Pam Smith |
In the presentation, Pam Smith of Chicago will discuss her African-American family research with a focus on her Crittenden County ancestors — Todd, Threlkeld and Hodge. She will also talk about her Kentucky family lineage that connects with Thomas Jefferson's sister, Lucy Jefferson Lewis of Livingston County.
Along the way she will share stories about finding other white Kentucky descendants of the people who enslaved her ancestors and what those initial encounters were like. The event will conclude with a question and answer period.
The program is free and begins at 6:30 p.m., at Crittenden County Public Library. It is funded in part by the Kentucky Humanities Council, Inc. and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
