Launched by American Ancestors, the 10 Million Names Project works to restore the names of all who were enslaved in the U.S. prior to emancipation. Learn more about the project and how you can help.

There are at least 44 million descendants of enslaved individuals alive today, but slavery separated families, erased names, and obscured facts. This project works to connect the living with the family stories of their enslaved ancestors. You can explore the full project at 10millionnames.org. 

Join us as we celebrate Black History Month with this special presentation from Cynthia Evans, the Director of Research who manages and performs the research for the project. She joined American Ancestors in 2023. A researcher, historian, and genealogist with more than 10 years of experience in African American history research, she has a B.A. and M.A.
