Genealogy is the lane. Community is the destination. Care is how we get there.
TBAT Taskforce offers culturally grounded, care-centered genealogy services to help Black American descendants verify their lineage and receive support that honors their legacy.
Genealogy isn’t just about research; it’s about reclaiming what was stolen, restoring family legacy, and laying the foundation for collective progress.
For Black American descendants, knowing who you are and proving it; is the first step toward everything else: reparations, recognition, and real community.
