GSP members will have access to the recording until Sept. 15. Registration can be found at: https://genpa.org/programs-and-events/

About the webinar: Andrew Williams was a founder of Seneca Village, a predominantly Black, middle-class neighborhood that thrived in Manhattan for thirty years before its destruction in 1856. A long-standing mystery surrounded a simple question: What became of Andrew and his family? Three key records tell us more than we knew to ask and lead to two big rewards.
