Concord African American descendant Denise Dennis celebrates her great-great grandfather Henry Dennis’ 200th birthday (1815-1882) with a symposium and discussion about preserving African American history. Both of Henry Dennis’ parents (in 1804) and grandparents (in 1777) were married in Concord (see Denise discovering her ancestor’s wedding record in the Lincoln Library). Maria Madison, Robbins House President, will be a featured speaker, and Linda Ziemba, Robbins House Exhibit Designer, will participate in an African American interpretive planning meeting.
