In commemoration of Black History Month, the University of Houston Law Center will host a virtual discussion led by University of New Mexico School of Law Professor Emeritus Sherri L. Burr at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 25.
Burr s presentation is titled, Genealogical Research into America s Antebellum Past: The Challenges of Finding the Enslaved, the Free, and Enslavers. Dean Leonard M. Baynes will serve as a commentator. We must analyze pre-Civil War ancestral history because too much of relations between races has been lost, misunderstood, or misinterpreted, Burr said. This unexamined history continues to impact relations between races today.
