About Us

At African American Historical Research and Consulting, LLC (AAHRC), we are dedicated to uncovering, preserving, and sharing the rich and interconnected histories of people of African descent worldwide. Our work aims to span the African diaspora, embracing the stories of African Americans, Africans, and those from the Caribbean, South America, and Britain. By showcasing these global connections, we illuminate the profound impact of African heritage on culture, politics, and society across the world.

As the 2024 Consulting Award recipients from the National Council on Public History, AAHRC is recognized for its excellence and innovation in advancing public history through impactful research and consulting. This prestigious honor underscores our commitment to preserving the legacies of the African diaspora with integrity, scholarship, and passion. Additionally, as a certified minority business supplier, we take pride in fostering diversity and equity in every project we undertake.

Our mission is to provide expert research, consulting, and educational services to bring untold stories to light, deepen understanding of shared histories, and celebrate the resilience and achievements of the African diaspora. Whether tracing genealogies, documenting historical narratives, curating exhibitions, or developing public history initiatives, we connect the past with the present to inspire future generations.

We partner with academic institutions, cultural organizations, museums, and individuals globally to create projects that honor the legacies of those who paved the way. From preserving African American church histories to exploring the transatlantic connections of enslaved people and their descendants, we ensure these narratives are preserved and shared widely.

Through our work, AAHRC strengthens the collective understanding of African and African-descended peoples’ contributions worldwide while empowering communities to honor and preserve their heritage.

Client Testimonial

The family of the late Rev. Ralph David and Juanita Abernathy

Genealogical Research and Historical Video Presentation

As a close friend and mentor of Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Ralph David Abernathy played a key role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the modern civil rights movement.

AAHRC conducted genealogical research for the Abernathy family and created a historical video presentation in honor of Rev. Abernathy for the family's reunion prior to the passing of its matriarch Juanita Abernathy in 2019.

"The value of preserving my family's history is priceless. Thank you AAHRC for researching, recording, preserving, and sharing my family's roots, plus celebrating both my father and mother's legacy!"

- Kwame L. Abernathy, J.D.
