About this Event
The Family Roots Festival is a signature community event in recognition of National Family History Month. Designed to celebrate and promote the importance of family heritage, the festival offers a dynamic blend of educational, cultural, and interactive experiences for attendees of all ages.
The festival’s core educational component includes genealogy workshops led by local experts, providing practical guidance on tracing family roots and utilizing digital research tools. Interactive elements are woven throughout the event, including storytelling and oral history segments presented by HistoryMiami and the Black Broward Film Project, where community members share personal family histories and traditions. Attendees are also given the opportunity to record and contribute their stories to the Black Archives’ digital collection, supporting the preservation of local heritage.
