Public Roundtable Discussion Finding Black Histories in Archival Court Records

Join us for a roundtable discussion with The Honorable Robert L. Wilkins, Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.  Judge Wilkins will discuss how an entry in UK Libraries’ Notable Kentucky African Americans database led him to find his family's stories in court records at the Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives, and will share his experiences working with historical legal documents and other archival materials. He will be joined by Kentucky State Archivist Rusty Heckaman, UK Historian Vanessa Holden, and UK Special Collections Librarian Reinette Jones.

Seating is limited, and RSVPs are required.
