 ape is full of hundreds of thousands of resources that are potentially use
 ful to anyone pursuing African American genealogy. The concept of toolbox 
 building is rooted in seeking out and organizing these resources in a more
  systematic manner. Join us to explore a number of key African American to
 pics and identify more worthwhile resources\, many of them unfamiliar to g
 enealogists.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>This is a free\, virtual program taking place 
 via Zoom. A Zoom link will be emailed to all registrants one day before th
 e program. Contact Special Collections at 330.643.9030 or email us at <a h
