About
Hi, I'm Olivia Dorsey Peacock.
I'm the creator of Digital Black History and Unlock the Records.
I've been fascinated with my family's story ever since my mom gave me an incomplete family tree from a previous family reunion. I was 11 at the time. I read over the names just trying to imagine who these people were. I challenged myself to find those who weren't on the tree.
This passion grew when I took a trip to Franklin, North Carolina about seven years ago. It was there that I discovered old photographs and family heirlooms from my great-great grandmother. That moment was... magical.
I want other Black families to experience that same moment.
I'm on a mission
After spending several years in the technology industry, I'm going back to my roots and my passion.
I've noticed a considerable lack of available digital resources for Black history and Black genealogy. In an effort to rectify this, I'm leveraging technology to disseminate and elevate the histories and genealogies of members of the African diaspora.
I want to make sure that other Black families have the resources they need to discover and share their family history.
