Research
With each selected subject, we perform research into genealogy as well as the life, environment and times they lived. After assimilating and establishing the context from an African American perspective, our intent is to engage institutions of education and local municipals to help in disseminating a broader context regarding their lives.
Below are the subjects we are currently researching.
Isaac J. Hill
RESEARCH COMPLETE - Isaac was born in Selinsgrove, PA in 1826. He was one of 11 children of Isaac and Rachel Hill. Being poor, his father bound Isaac out to a Kentucky man when he was a young boy, only to be sent back to his parents when White Americans discovered he had learned to read. While back in Pennsylvania, Isaac would become a minister in 1852.
