The Afro-American Genealogical and Historical Society of Chicago, Inc. (AAGHSC) is a nonprofit association for researching African-American family history. Dr. Adlean Harris and Ms. Muriel Wilson founded the Society in August 1979, and incorporated it in the State of Illinois on December 29, 1980.
AAGHSC was established to preserve and perpetuate records of African-American ancestors, and to encourage the study of African-American family history and genealogy.
