Dr. Tena Roseman

This year, my celebration of Black History month, includes the introduction of Dr. Tena Roseman, the first family historian I never met. 

Born in 1909, Dr. Roseman is the daughter of Harry and the niece of Antione, and is largely responsible for the ‘Sacred Historic Letter,’ which identifies two lines of their Louisiana families, dating back decades prior to the Civil War as Free Peoples of Color. 

Dr. Roseman served on the staff of the DuSable Museum of African American History in Chicago, Illinois, where she established the Museum's Oratorial Contest.  The DuSable Museum of African American History is the nation’s first independent museum dedicated to the collection, preservation and study of the history and culture of Africans and Americans of African descent.  

The first time this presentation of Stories from the Journey, which highlights the accomplishments of Dr. Roseman and her family, will be featured, along with many other exciting genealogy lineups, will be at the Discover Your Roots 2023 History Research Seminar.
