Launching One of the World's Most Ambitious Genealogy Projects

We were thrilled and honoured to work with the American Ancestors team in developing the brand and website to support the launch of the 10 Million Names project.

The project aims to connect African American people with the stories of their ancestors, who were enslaved during pre- and post-colonial America.

10 Million Names in the News

Since the website launched with a segment on ABC News‘ Good Morning America, it has continued to attract high-profile media attention. Early media coverage came from the BlackEnterprise.com news platform, Alabama.com (Alabama’s most visited news site), and a guest segment on the Politics Nation show on MSNBC.

Throughout 2024, 10 Million Names has continued to attract attention from ABC News, including a feature segment on ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis, and stories on Boston.com, national public radio, and regional TV news stations across the country.
