GSRC’s Purpose

The goal of GSRC is to strengthen identity and community by reclaiming family legacies. Genealogy is not just about names and dates; it is about honoring resilience, restoring connections, and celebrating the traditions that endure across generations. For African American culture, this practice affirms the importance of family as the heart of heritage and ensures that the struggles, triumphs, and contributions of ancestors will never be forgotten.
