'Education means emancipation. It means light and liberty. It means
uplifting of the soul of man into the glorious light of truth, the light by
which men can only be made free'.

Frederick Douglass, excerpt from Blessings of Liberty and Education Speech 1894
**************************************************************
African Americans are a blend of multiple cultures, races, nationalites, and locations. The rich history and lineage has defined more than ever the need to document and preserve the "African-American Experience" in every form that is available. African-American Griots is here to make available to researchers and persons of all walks of life an opportunity to be a part of this experience. Records such as military, vital records, surnames, probate and labeled photos are a few examples of what we would like to document and preserve for anyone interested in or seeking genealogical or historical references. Any contributions that can be offered will be accepted as long as they are not derogatory or discriminating. 

All of the records found on this website are the contributions of devoted researchers and genealogist. Some records will not have the submitter's name. This is not intentional.  For unknown reasons over time portions of some records have been lost. My goal is to acknowledge each one of the contributors to the AAG Project for their hard work by posting the wills, birth records, surveys, newsclippings, cemetery records, marriage records, databases, prison records, slave research, military records, Freedmen's Savings & Trust, photos, family lineage and histories, census, mortality schedules, obituaries, surname listings, queries, probate records, etc.
