Telling your story isn’t easy.  It takes research, listening, recording, and traveling.  We know how important your story is and it needs to be told.  Our mission here at ASRI is to Tell the Story that has never been told.  The story of the African Americans from 1700 – 1900.  If you want to share your story please write a 1000-word essay on what you know so far about your family history.  If you win our essay contest your story will be selected and your research will be supported by ASRI giving you access to programs and databases that will help you dig deep into your ancestral history.  YOUR STORY will be highlighted by ASRI to the archeological world!
